Wieder Tongue Depressor: Secure Oral Exposure & Retraction
The Wieder Tongue Depressor from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for ENT specialists and oral surgeons who require a stable operative field. This specialized depressor is made from premium German Stainless Steel, providing the durability and tactile control necessary for depressing the tongue during complex oropharyngeal procedures.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Wieder depressor undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The heart-shaped blade is designed with deep serrations and fenestrations that allow the tongue tissue to slightly bulge through, creating a mechanical lock that prevents the instrument from slipping. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the handle angle provides maximum comfort and visibility for the surgeon.
Surgical Applications
- Tonsillectomy: Used to depress and stabilize the tongue to provide a clear line of sight to the palatine tonsils.
- General Oral Exam: Facilitates the inspection of the throat, uvula, and posterior oral cavity in a clinical setting.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Acts as a reliable retractor during soft tissue repairs or biopsies within the mouth.
Care and Maintenance Section
To maintain the effectiveness of the serrated blade, the fenestrations should be cleaned thoroughly with a soft-bristled brush to remove all biological residue before sterilization. It is fully autoclavable and resistant to repeated processing. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
