Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this single tongue depressor and the 500-count box?

This is an individual unit sold separately for restocking specific kits or small-quantity needs. The 500-count box (SKU WSK-M559) offers a lower per-unit cost for high-volume facilities.

What can tongue depressors be used for besides throat exams?

Beyond throat and tonsil inspection, tongue depressors can serve as finger splints, ointment application tools, and mixing sticks for medical supplies in first aid settings.

Are these tongue depressors sterile?

No, these are non-sterile tongue depressors intended for general first aid use. For procedures requiring sterility, individually wrapped sterile versions should be used.
