  <dc:title>Fergusson's Mouth Gag</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Stainless steel mouth gag with slides as designed by Fergusson, with grooved jaws/parallel blades to fit against patient's teeth, an addition designed by William Robert Ackland.  Manufactured by "Fannin's Dublin", it is also engraved "Made in England" on the same arm and "Stainless Steel" on the other.  Mouth gags are still used nowadays during dental surgery to keep a patient’s mouth open. </dc:description>
