Dental Retractor Jennings.
This fiendish-looking dental retractor according to Jennings was actually used by dentists and oral surgeons to keep the mouth open during examinations and surgeries. However, fetishists, medical instrument collectors and BdSM fans often find them interesting for other reasons.
This dental retractor was designed as medical / dental device. It cannot be expected to function as a secure gag (although, depending on the size and shape of an individual's jaw and teeth, it might be effective in some cases). It is generally possible to push them out of the mouth with a bit of effort of the tongue.
However, by adding some sort of strap around the back of the head to tie them in place, such as a leather strap, it is possible to make them more secure.
Many people will want to own this Jennings retractor simply as a collector's piece, others will want to use them. Obviously, caution is necessary with this item. You could risk chipping teeth against the hard metal if some kind of impact occurs, and it is important not to strain the jaw muscles by opening the jaw too much or for too long. Use care and common sense, and proceed slowly.
Size: About 14 cm wide mouth piece, total length 19 cm, opening up to 5 cm outside, 3.7 cm inside.
Material: Brushed stainless steel with matte finish.
