SPECIFICATION: The mouth wedge is made of a stainless steel material to provide long lasting use. The wedge is designed to provide the arcade more comfort and safety with a guide on the inner and outer edge to minimize movement. The support bar is a sturdy aluminum alloy. The adjustable eye hook has a 48" nylon rope provided for securing the wedge to a halter ring. See the drawing for measurement specifications.

OBJECTIVE:A rapid and easy to use instrument to give access to a horse’s mouth. The wedge allows the animal’s mouth to remain open for access of procedures to be performed while limiting a minimal amount of discomfort to the animal.

APPLICATION:(1) Place the wedge on the opposite side of the mouth you desire to work on. (2) Make sure the teeth are centered on the stainless steel bar. (3) Pull the wedge back against the mouth firmly. (4) Place the nylon rope over the head and tie off in a slip knot around a halter ring. If you need to remove the wedge in a hurry, pull the slip knot and the wedge will break free. A horse will raise its head when working on the lower jaw and tethering with a tightly secured lead rope is recommended.
