These 5.5-inch tongue depressors are made of durable birch wood, allowing them to withstand force without splintering, cracking, or breaking easily. They are also flat and easy to hold, making them convenient to use for numerous applications. Each tongue depressor is cut with precision, so you can expect its edges and surfaces to be rounded, polished, and with no burrs. With an even texture, it provides a comfortable experience for patients. The mouth and throat can easily show signs of health conditions such as sore throat and strep throat. But because the tongue blocks the channel of the throat, it is impossible for medical professionals to detect any possible problems. These wooden depressors allow unobstructed views of the mouth and throat during clinical examinations. By hygienically holding the tongue down, they make it easier for practitioners to identify any issues. There are many tongue depressors on the market, making it difficult to find a pack that does its job efficiently. What makes these tongue depressors special is they are used by medical practitioners for safe examination of the mouth and throat. Ideal for use in clinics and hospitals, these tongue depressors are tasteless and odorless. They do not contain natural rubber latex and are individually packaged for hygiene purposes. Some items are better bought in bulk than in pieces, especially if they are used in the medical field. Physicians and practitioners see countless patients each day so they should never be out of tongue depressors! These 5.5-inch, non-sterile junior tongue depressors come in a box of 500 so practitioners have enough to last them several months at least. Used every day in hospitals and clinics, they can easily be stored in drawers or jars. What’s great about these tongue depressors is they can be used for many other things aside from holding down tongues and helping examine throats. You can use them to spread ointments or creams, apply wax, and mix hair colors at the salon. You can even use them as plant markers or as tools or props for your arts and crafts projects. And because they are tasteless and odorless, you can definitely use them as popsicle sticks! When used for medical examinations, these tongue depressors are quite easy to use. Simply have your patient say “Ah,” then place the tool on the surface of their tongue. Gently push down their tongue using the depressor, and then thoroughly check both the inside of their mouth and the back of their throat. You can also use the tool to move your patient’s tongue down. Finally, discard the depressor after use. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
