Mystery tool

[jask]

I usually have no problem figuring out what a tool is for but this one has me stumped... I also found a Proto keychain driver in the same box.
I was thinking it was a dental tool for holding a jaw open ??

EDIT: a Google image search turned up a similar item on ebay "medical/ dental retractor" thanks Tym

Looks a lot like a surgical retractor to me, maybe for veterinary use?
