Description

The Senior Tongue Depressors, 6-inch sterile type, are precision-crafted medical instruments intended for oral and throat examinations. Manufactured from high-quality plastic, these depressors provide a smooth, tasteless, and odorless surface, ensuring patient comfort during use. Each depressor is designed with a uniform, splinter-free finish to minimize irritation and promote safety during clinical procedures.

These tongue depressors are individually packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use. The sterile nature of each unit helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination, aligning with standard infection control practices in healthcare environments. The single-use design ensures that each depressor is used only once, eliminating concerns of reprocessing or sterilization and improving procedural efficiency.

While primarily used for diagnostic and examination purposes, the senior-size depressors also serve as versatile medical tools. They can be adapted for secondary uses such as finger splinting in minor injury management, providing structural support to immobilize small joints during healing. Their lightweight and disposable construction make them suitable for both clinical and emergency care applications.
