Medline Wood Tongue Depressors for Infants 3/8″×4‑1/2″ Box of 1000

Description

Product Overview

Medline delivers a reliable, non‑sterile wood tongue depressor designed specifically for infant and pediatric examinations. Each depressor measures 3/8″ by 4‑1/2″, a size that balances gentle handling with sufficient rigidity to keep the mouth open for clear visual assessment. Crafted from high‑quality, sustainably sourced wood, the depressors feature a smooth, sanded surface that minimizes irritation while providing a firm grip for clinicians. The product is packaged in a sturdy box containing 1,000 units, making it an economical choice for busy clinics, hospitals, and home‑care providers. The design adheres to Medline’s rigorous quality standards, ensuring consistency across every piece and supporting the high‑volume demands of modern medical practice.

Usage

These tongue depressors are ideal for a range of pediatric and infant procedures, including routine oral examinations, throat swabs, and medication administration. Their compact dimensions allow easy insertion into the small oral cavities of newborns and toddlers, while the non‑sterile nature makes them suitable for single‑use applications where sterility is not a regulatory requirement. Healthcare professionals can confidently use the depressors during well‑child visits, emergency assessments, and in‑clinic screenings. The wooden material is biodegradable, offering an environmentally responsible alternative to plastic disposables. Because the depressors are supplied in a bulk 1,000‑count box, they are readily available for high‑throughput settings such as pediatric wards, community health centers, and school health programs.
