Dental Retractor Whitehead.
This fiendish-looking dental retractor according to whitehead was used by dentists and oral surgeons to keep mouths open during examinations and surgeries. However, fetishists, medical instrument collectors and BdSM fans often find them interesting for other reasons.
This whitehead dental retractor was designed as medical / dental device. It cannot be expected to function as secure gags (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.
However, by adding some sort of strap around the back of the head to tie them in place with a leather strap, it is possible to make them more securely stay in place. Many people will want to own these simply as a collector's pieces. However, others will want to use them.
Obviously, caution is necessary with these items, you could risk chipping teeth against the hard metal if some kind of impact occurs. 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: The dental retractor whitehead is about 14 cm wide and opens up to about 6.4 cm. It is and against a Jennings retractor adjustable and lockable at both sides.
Material: Stainless steel with matte finish.
