Tongue Depressor
KSh 400.00
Tongue Depressor
A tongue depressor is a simple, flat, elongated medical tool designed to help healthcare professionals examine the oral cavity. It is typically made from wood, although plastic versions are also available. The primary function of a tongue depressor is to gently press down on the tongue to provide a clear view of the mouth and throat. This is important for examining areas like the tonsils, back of the throat, or any other structures that may be affected by infections, inflammation, or other conditions.
Key Features:
- Shape: Flat, elongated, and usually tapered at both ends for easy handling.
- Material: Most commonly made of smooth, lightweight wood (often birch) or plastic.
- Size: Approximately 6 inches (15 cm) in length, making it easy to fit in the mouth without causing discomfort.
- Single-use or reusable: Often disposable, but some reusable models can be sterilized.
