The Gast Tongue Blade is a stainless steel retractor blade commonly used with Davis and Boyle-Davis mouth gags.
It is designed with a flat, serrated surface and smooth rounded ends to securely depress and stabilize the tongue, providing the surgeon with an unobstructed view of the oropharynx and larynx.
The Gast blade is known for its durable construction and ergonomic fit within gag frames.
Common Uses: This blade is used in tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and other oral and pharyngeal procedures.
It helps maintain tongue depression throughout the surgery, ensuring safe, consistent exposure of the operative field while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
