Tongue grasper |

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.
