What Is a Wooden Tongue Depressor Used For?
The depressor is laid on the front part of the tongue and pressed gently down so the examiner can see the tonsils, the back of the throat and the inside of the mouth, usually with a flashlight or head light. The rounded ends avoid sharp corners against the tongue and cheeks.
Because it is non-sterile and single use, take a fresh depressor from a clean, dust-free store for each patient and break it straight after the examination so it cannot be used again. Nursing schools and school health teams also keep them in stock for throat-examination practice and screening camps.
