Kroenig Tongue Depressor 15cm – Opti-Hold Lingual Anchor & Safe-Guard Oropharyngeal Shield

Solid-Phase Kroenig Tongue Depressor (15cm) for Precision Throat Exposure

The Kroenig Tongue Depressor 15cm is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the tongue during diagnostic and surgical procedures. Functioning as a high-performance lingual anchor, this 15cm model features a dual-blade configuration with slightly different widths at each end, offering the clinician versatile options for pediatric or adult applications. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal shield is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the practitioner with the leverage needed to expose the tonsillar fossa without inducing excessive gag reflex. By utilizing the Kroenig Tongue Depressor 15cm, practitioners benefit from a flat, slim profile that occupies minimal space in the oral cavity, maximizing the visual field for secondary instruments. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their durability and surgical-grade finish.
