Tongue Depressors (Wooden) 100s
Product Details
Tongue depressors, often referred to as tongue blades, are thin, flat sticks made of wood or plastic that are used by medical professionals to examine a patient's throat or mouth. They're called tongue depressors because their primary purpose is to gently press down the patient's tongue, allowing the doctor or nurse to get a clear view of the throat and oral cavity.
Here are some common uses of tongue depressors:
- Oral Examinations: They're used to inspect the throat, tonsils, and other parts of the oral cavity for signs of infection, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
- Applying Medications: They can be used to apply topical treatments, such as gels or ointments, to specific areas in the mouth or throat.
- Checking Reflexes: In some cases, they might be used to stimulate a patient's gag reflex, which can be important for neurological assessments.
- Mixing or Stirring: In non-medical settings, they're often used for tasks like stirring small amounts of substances or for crafts.
