It is available in various designs having support structures that force and/or hold the jaws apart; e.g., it may be designed with flat, pivoted blades that angle outward when adjusted; or it may have two parallel plates that move apart with adjustments to a centre screw; or it may have a scissors-like design with pivoted, self-retaining, notched blades at the distal end. This device is also known as a jaw spreader. This is a single-use device.)
