Tongue grasper by  MATHIEU 

 

 

Tongue Forceps n. MATHIEU


During anesthesia, the tongue slips backwards and blocks the airways. If you do not want to or can not intubate, you should prefer the tongue with a suitable barrel pliers (models CHAMPONNIERE, MIKULICZ and BERGER with sharp claws, dull models according to ESMARCH, CUSCO, HOUZE, ASH, COLLIN, KLAUSNER, etc.).



A blunt grasper is introduced, named after the French instrument maker Louis Mathieu (1817-1879), to whom we also owe a vaginal speculum and a tonsillotome.
