In the context of surgery or dental surgery, a gag is a device used to hold the patient's mouth open when working in the oral cavity. Applications for medical gags include oral surgery and airway management. Gag designs, like other medical instrument designs, are often named after their invertors. Common examples of medical gags include the Jennings, 'Whitehead, and Hallam gags.
