Product Overview

About Blue-covered Molt mouth gags

Our Molt mouth gags hold the mouth open during professional dental and oral-surgical work, and they come in three sizes so you can match the instrument to the patient and the procedure. Each gag has ring handles, a hinge, a ratchet and blue-covered contact ends.

Three sizes to compare

10 cm: head span 3.5 cm.
12 cm: head span 4 cm.
14 cm: head span 6 cm.

The first figure is the nominal overall length of the instrument. The head span is the nominal horizontal width across the head in its documented position, which gives a practical sense of how the three sizes step up. Opening the gag with the ratchet then sets the working opening within each instrument's range.

How the Molt design works

The ring handles move the hinged arms apart, and the ratchet holds them in the position you select, so the opening stays steady without constant pressure on the handles. The blue covers sit over the contact ends where the gag meets the teeth.

That mechanism is what sets a Molt gag apart from a bite block or mouth prop, which simply rests between the teeth at a fixed height, and from a cheek retractor, which moves soft tissue aside rather than holding the jaws apart.

Ordering

Tell us the size or sizes you need, 10, 12 or 14 cm, and the quantity of each, and we will quote them. If you would rather have a small, medium and large Molt gag together as one set, see our Molt mouth gag set.

Reading the three-gag size photo

The photo shows the three blue-covered Molt sizes standing upright, with ring handles at the bottom and contact heads at the top. Each gag carries two labels, and the two labels measure in different directions.

The first figure is the nominal overall length, which runs bottom to top in the photo, from the ring handles up to the contact heads. The second is the horizontal head span, measured side to side across the head in the position shown. Name both numbers together when you describe a size. For example, 12 cm / 4 cm identifies one gag, while 12 cm or 4 cm alone describes only one direction.

The head spans show how the heads step up from one size to the next. You set the working opening yourself with the ratchet, which holds the position you choose so the opening stays steady without constant pressure on the ring handles.

Three blue-covered Molt mouth gags standing side by side, labelled 14 cm long with a 6 cm head span, 12 cm with 4 cm, and 10 cm with 3.5 cm — Blue-covered Molt mouth gags in the three listed sizes, shown in the documented position. Read lengths top to bottom and head spans side to side.
**Left gag**
Largest size: 14 cm nominal overall length, 6 cm horizontal head span.
**Centre gag**
Middle size: 12 cm nominal overall length, 4 cm horizontal head span.
**Right gag**
Smallest size: 10 cm nominal overall length, 3.5 cm horizontal head span.
**Hinge and ratchet**
The hinge sits centrally below each contact head, between the two arms. The curved ratchet with its release projection sits to the left of each shaft, between the contact heads and the ring handles.

Two ways to order: pictured size or exact catalogue code

Pictured Molt gags: to order the blue-covered Molt form shown above, use product code DIS-GRP-0005 and give a size, 10, 12 or 14 cm, with a quantity for each. Leave the catalogue-reference selector unselected for this route. The size and quantity are all we need.

Specific catalogue reference: the selector also lists 36 catalogue references, covering mouth gags, mouth props, retractors and other listed items. Use this route when you already know the exact item you want, and quote its full DIS-CAT code.

Full codes matter because several references share a length label. A 140 mm label also matches the 14 cm Molt length, but that number alone does not tell us which form you mean. If the pictured gag is what you want, the size route above is the most direct way to ask for it. The examples below show where a length alone would leave a request unclear.

For one complete small, medium and large Molt gag ordered together, the Molt mouth gag set is a separate listing with three complete instruments and black covers. Treat it as a set order rather than as the blue-covered sizes on this page. If your task is moving cheeks and soft tissue aside rather than holding the jaws open, see the retractor patterns.

Selected catalogue references that share a length label, and how to request them
Length label	Catalogue codes	Names as listed	How to request
140 mm	DIS-CAT-0402, DIS-CAT-0411, DIS-CAT-0412	Mouth Gags, 140 mm (the same display name on all three)	Quote the full code, because the shared name will not tell them apart
185 mm	DIS-CAT-0406, DIS-CAT-0407	Mouth Gags 185 mm; Finger Protectors 185 mm	Give the item name as well as the code. The length is the same, but the listed items are different
165 mm	DIS-CAT-0424 to DIS-CAT-0431 (eight codes)	165 mm on seven codes; Mouth Gag and Retractor 165 mm on DIS-CAT-0426	Put each full code on its own line, because each is a separate reference

Setting out your request

Whichever route you choose, put each size or reference on its own line so the quote is easy to check. If you are ordering a catalogue reference or replacing an instrument you already use, include these details:

To compare before a larger order, you can request samples of 1–3 pieces per pattern. Order minimums are confirmed with your quote.

Product FAQ

Dental Mouth Gags, Props and Retractors Questions

Which nominal Molt mouth-gag sizes are listed?

The smaller form is 10 cm overall with a 3.5 cm horizontal head span, the middle form is 12 cm with a 4 cm span, and the larger form is 14 cm with a 6 cm span. These are size comparisons for the blue-covered forms.

Is the head-span value the maximum mouth-gag opening?

No. Here, head span is the horizontal dimension across the head in the documented instrument position. Maximum opening, clear interpad gap, pad width and jaw depth are different measurements, so use the named dimension when you compare a size requirement.

What does the ratchet contribute to a Molt mouth gag?

The ratchet retains a selected instrument position in the hinged, ring-handled arrangement, which makes it a construction feature of an adjustable mechanical gag. These forms also have blue-covered contact ends; cover color and cover material are separate attributes.

What is the difference between a mouth gag and a cheek retractor?

A mouth gag maintains mouth opening, while a cheek retractor primarily moves soft tissue away from the working area. Commercial names can overlap, so compare the actual working form and intended instrument role when you select between them.

How does a Molt gag differ from a block-style mouth prop?

A Molt gag has hinged arms and ring handles with an adjustable retaining mechanism, while a block-style prop is a passive block form. They are different mechanical arrangements, so a common mouth-opening purpose does not make their size descriptions or construction equivalent.
