Abstract
A disposable throat guard and a device for resiliently maintaining it therewith for use as a combined throat guard system includes a first pair of wire members of generally U-shaped configuration for resiliently engaging a flexible air permeable sheet material, an oversized portion which is held in place by the first pair of wire members over a patient's lower arch, a third wire member of generally U-shaped configuration with its ends resiliently connected adjacent ends of the first two wire members and biased to an opened bi-valve position so that when the device is placed in the mouth of the patient (between the teeth and cheeks), it functions to maintain the first two wire members (and the therein retained throat guard) in place in the patient's mouth. The throat guard of flexible sheet material has a rear leaf portion which, when folded upwardly and forwardly will substantially obstruct the passage between the mouth cavity and throat of the patient.
