Abstract

We describe an alternative method of suspending the Boyle-Davis gag during tonsillectomy. Use of the traditional Draffin's bipod for positioning patients during tonsillectomy is associated with a number of difficulties. These include limited height adjustment and problems with slipping during operation. We describe an alternative arrangement for suspension of the Boyle-Davis gag. This arrangement has been successfully used for many years, and offers advantages because of its stability and adjustability.
