Max Plus Heister Mouth Gag, sometimes known as the Mott-Heister Gag, is a historical yet enduring self-retaining instrument vital in surgery of the oral cavity and pharynx. Its primary role is to provide a stable, wide-open access to the surgical site by gently forcing apart the patient's upper and lower jaws. Unlike spring-loaded gags, the Heister features a controlled screw-lock mechanism that allows for gradual, precise, and fixed adjustment of the mouth opening, which is paramount for safety and maintaining an unobstructed airway, especially when the patient is under general anesthesia or experiencing trismus (lockjaw).
