The iM3 Table Top Mouth Gag can be used for a wide range of procedures, including brachycephalic
airway surgery as seen on the below video link:
“I have been using the iM3 tabletop mouth gag
(TTMG) for about 4 years for positioning of the
head for numerous procedures, most commonly
brachycephalic airway surgery. This device is
absolutely perfect for positioning dogs’ heads
for this procedure and saves a lot of time and
expense (think endless rolls of tape) normally
required for positioning brachy’s heads for
surgery.
The other really nice thing is that it is adjustable.
We can have the head in one position for the
nares and then change the position for the soft
palate and saccules. I strongly recommend the
use of the TTMG for this purpose”.
