Standard Hausman Dental Gag Speculum for Equine Dental Care

A trusted staple in equine dental practice, the Standard Hausman Dental Gag Speculum delivers reliable operator control and confident mouth management at an accessible price point — making it an excellent choice for equine dental practitioners, veterinary students, and yard owners looking for a dependable, no-fuss speculum for routine dental work.

The Hausman design is one of the most widely recognised and used mouth gag configurations in equine dentistry, and for good reason. The spring-loaded ratchet system allows the operator to open the horse's mouth incrementally and hold it securely at the desired position throughout the procedure — giving you the control and stability needed to work safely and efficiently, whether you're performing a routine examination, floating sharp edges, or assessing the dental arcade.

Constructed from cast stainless steel, this economy model offers solid durability for everyday use. As with all cast instruments, it performs best when handled with care — avoiding accidental drops will help maintain its integrity and extend its working life. For practitioners requiring a forged alternative with greater shock resistance, our Millenium Dental Gag Speculum is the premium upgrade.

Important Note on Handling

As a cast stainless steel instrument, this speculum is more susceptible to shock breakage than forged alternatives. We recommend handling with care and avoiding accidental drops to ensure long-lasting performance. For a more shock-resistant option, consider our Millenium Dental Gag Speculum.
