Tongue Depressors

A Tongue Depressor is a tool used for physical examinations or oral examinations. It is a flat stick, which is used to hold down the tongue. This can provide better visibility and access to the mouth and throat area. Tongue depressors are used in many fields, including medical, dental, and veterinary practices.

A tongue depressor is sometimes referred to as a tongue blade. This tool can be made of wood or plastic and is available packaged sterile or non-sterile. They are available in both adult and pediatric sizes.

AdvaCare Pharma manufactures Tongue Depressors in ISO and CE-certified facilities located in India, China, and the USA. Every production factory undergoes routine inspections to ensure strict compliance with healthcare standards and the highest levels of quality and safety.

Material

Wooden tongue depressor is an industry-standard instrument with a smooth and splinter-free finish, ensuring patient comfort and safety during examinations.

The wooden material has no taste or odor, making it suitable for oral examinations without any interference. Additionally, the tongue depressor maintains a high tensile strength, allowing for flexibility and ease of use.

Plastic tongue depressor is a convenient and hygienic tool that has been designed to be odor and taste-free.

The plastic depressor maintains a high tensile strength, which allows for effective tongue control during examinations. Plastic depressors are more flexible than wooden depressors, and the flexibility makes it easier to maneuver in the patient's mouth, providing healthcare professionals with better control and precision.
