The Dynarex Tongue Depressors are non-sterile wooden depressors made from white birch veneer. Each depressor measures 6 inches long by 5/8 inch wide, the standard adult size for oral examinations. The non-sterile format is suitable for general clinical examination use where sterility is not a requirement. Sold as a box of 500 for high-volume clinical settings.
Physician offices, urgent care centers, and family medicine practices that perform high volumes of routine oral and throat examinations will find the 500-count box a cost-effective supply format for non-sterile tongue depressor use. Clinical settings where sterility is not required for tongue depressor use will benefit from the non-sterile format at a lower per-unit cost compared to individually wrapped sterile options. School health clinics, occupational health facilities, and other high-volume examination settings will find the large box quantity reduces restocking frequency. The standard 6-inch adult size is compatible with most clinical examination protocols.
What is the difference between sterile and non-sterile tongue depressors?
Sterile tongue depressors (SKU 3063, box of 100) are individually wrapped and sterilized, appropriate for settings where sterility is required. Non-sterile depressors are suitable for general examination use where sterility is not a clinical requirement. Choose based on your facility's infection control protocols.
