Solid-Phase Univ. Minnesota Tongue Depressor (14cm) for Dynamic Oral Access
The Univ. Minnesota Tongue Depressor 14cm is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology and maxillofacial toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of soft tissues. Functioning as a high-performance lingual anchor, this 14cm model features a distinctively curved blade that allows the practitioner to retract the cheek with one end while depressing the tongue with the other. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal guard is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the necessary leverage to maintain exposure in the crowded oral vestibule. By utilizing the Univ. Minnesota Tongue Depressor 14cm, practitioners benefit from an aura-view perspective of the surgical site, as the instrument’s slim profile minimizes interference with secondary tools like scalpels or suction tips. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their durability and high-polish finish.
