TONGUE DEPRESSOR, wooden

Definition

A tongue depressor (sometimes called spatula) is a tool used in medical practice to depress the tongue to allow for examination of the mouth and throat. The most common modern tongue depressors are flat, thin, wooden blades, smoothed and rounded at both ends.

Since they are inexpensive and difficult to clean because of their porous texture, wooden tongue depressors are for disposal after a single usage.
