Sklar Andrews Tongue Depressor, Serrated
A 4-1/4 inch serrated tongue depressor used to hold the tongue out of the way during oral and throat examination. It is reused across procedures after cleaning and sterilisation.
The Sklar Andrews Tongue Depressor is a reusable metal instrument measuring 4-1/4 inches, used to hold the tongue down and out of the way during oral cavity and throat examination, giving the clinician a clear view of the pharynx, tonsils and surrounding structures. Its serrated surface provides additional grip against the tongue compared with a smooth blade, helping keep the tongue in a controlled position during the brief moment of examination without slipping.
Reusable metal tongue depressors like this one are valued in clinical settings that prefer sterilisable instruments over disposable wooden depressors, particularly where repeated examinations are performed throughout a working day. This is a single fixed configuration listing without additional size variants stated.
ENT clinics, general practice and paediatric settings that perform routine oral and throat examinations typically keep several of these depressors in circulation to allow continuous patient turnover between sterilisation cycles.
