Moritz-Schmidt Tongue Depressor 19cm – Opti-Hold Lingual Anchor & Safe-Guard Oropharyngeal Shield

Solid-Phase Moritz-Schmidt Tongue Depressor (19cm) for Deep Oropharyngeal Access

The Moritz-Schmidt Tongue Depressor 19cm is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the tongue in patients with challenging oral anatomy. Functioning as a high-performance lingual anchor, this 19cm model features a distinctively curved blade that contours to the base of the tongue, providing massive leverage without obstructing the surgical line of sight. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal shield is balanced for center-point force transmission, allowing the practitioner to maintain firm retraction during long tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy cases. By utilizing the Moritz-Schmidt Tongue Depressor 19cm, clinicians benefit from a specialized handle that facilitates a comfortable manual grip, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive diagnostic or surgical maneuvers. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their ergonomic precision and structural resilience.
