A sterile wooden tongue depressor is a medical tool used by healthcare professionals, typically in clinical settings. It is made of wood and designed to be disposable, ensuring hygiene and preventing the spread of infections.
The tongue depressor is used to hold down the tongue during a physical examination of the mouth and throat or for various medical procedures. It allows doctors or nurses to get a clear view of the oral cavity and perform necessary examinations or treatments.
The term "sterile" indicates that the tongue depressor has been subjected to a sterilization process to eliminate any microorganisms or pathogens that could potentially cause infections. Sterilization methods commonly used for medical instruments include autoclaving (steam sterilization), ethylene oxide gas sterilization, or gamma irradiation.
The use of wooden tongue depressors has declined in some medical facilities due to concerns about potential splinters or bacterial contamination. In many cases, disposable plastic tongue depressors or other non-wooden alternatives are used instead.
