Lip and tongue retractor

It seems to me that this is literally referring to a lip retractor with a tongue retractor, but I would avoid repeating “retractor” here, and go for “lip and tongue retractor”.

This manufacturer, for example, offers a product sold as a “lip, cheek and tongue retractor”.

There are also separate lip retractors and tongue retractors.
