Andrews Tongue Depressor: Small Size Precision for Oral Exams

The Andrews tongue depressor in small size offers a refined solution for detailed oral examinations and pediatric care. Measuring 5.5 inches in length, this instrument features a tapered blade that transitions from 19.0mm to 13.0mm wide, ensuring comfortable insertion and optimal visibility without causing patient distress. The flat handle design provides a secure grip for clinicians, while the 5.0 cm (2 inch) handle section allows for precise control during procedures. Ideal for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics, this disposable wooden depressor maintains structural integrity under pressure, preventing splintering or breakage. Its compact dimensions make it particularly suitable for patients with smaller oral cavities, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort during routine check-ups.
