Rubber dam clamp

Maker
Ash (estab. 1924)
Description
A rubber dam or dental dam is a thin square sheet, usually latex or nitrile, used during dental surgery to isolate the operative site (one or more teeth) from the rest of the mouth. A rubber dam clamp aids in anchoring the dam to the tooth.

This is a typical rubber dam clamp but with a metal reflector and/or cheek or cotton roll retractor.
