Butler Mouth Gag, a specialized instrument designed for oral examinations and procedures in smaller animals.
The Butler Mouth Gag is a highly specialized veterinary instrument designed to gently and securely hold a smaller animal's mouth open. Unlike the large horse mouth gags, the Butler model is specifically engineered for precision and safety on smaller species, such as sheep, goats, or smaller dogs. Crafted from durable, medical-grade stainless steel, this mouth gag features a robust design that provides veterinarians with better access and visibility within the oral cavity. It is an indispensable tool for performing dental examinations, administering medication, or conducting minor oral procedures.
How To Use:-
Preparation: The animal is properly restrained, often with the use of a calming blanket or sedation, to ensure they remain still.
Placement: The gag is gently placed into the animal's mouth, with the padded or grooved plates fitting over the animal's teeth.
Opening: The veterinarian slowly and carefully adjusts the gag to open the animal's mouth to the desired width, providing adequate access to the oral cavity.
Procedure: The veterinarian then performs the necessary examination or procedure.
Removal: After the procedure is complete, the gag is gently disengaged and removed from the animal's mouth.
