TOBOLD TONGUE DEPRESSORS

Material:

• Plastic or Stainless Steel: Some models are made of medical-grade plastic or stainless steel. These are reusable and designed for sterilization between uses.

Shape:

• Flat, Rectangular Shape: The depressor is flat and rectangular, allowing it to efficiently hold down the tongue. Its shape ensures it can fit comfortably in the mouth while maintaining a clear line of sight for the practitioner.
• Rounded Edges: The ends are smoothly rounded to avoid injury or discomfort when used on sensitive oral tissues or the tongue.

Size:

• Typically about 6 inches (15 cm) in length, which is long enough to reach the back of the throat safely.
• The width is usually around 0.75 to 1 inch (about 1.9 to 2.5 cm), wide enough to effectively depress the tongue without causing excessive pressure.

Surface:

• The surface is usually smooth to ensure it does not irritate the tongue or mouth tissues during use.
• Wooden versions may have a slightly textured feel due to the natural grain of the wood, which helps prevent the tongue from slipping.

Sterility:

• Wooden tongue depressors are typically packaged sterile and intended for one-time use.
• Plastic or stainless steel versions are autoclavable for reuse after sterilization, making them more suitable for environments where cost-efficiency and reduced waste are priorities.

the Tobold Tongue Depressors offer a simple yet effective design, providing healthcare practitioners with a reliable tool for oral and throat examinations and ensuring patient comfort and safety.
