Doyen Tongue Depressor angled 16cm

Clinical Application

Provides atraumatic retraction of the tongue and soft tissues to improve visualization and access to the oral cavity, oropharynx and upper airway. Commonly used in ENT procedures, oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental procedures, bedside airway assessments and as an adjunct during intubation or suctioning when controlled retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The angled blade geometry positions the working surface away from the operator’s hand and instruments, improving line-of-sight into the posterior oral cavity and oropharynx. At 16 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach for deeper exposure while maintaining a broad, flat blade to distribute pressure and minimize focal tissue trauma. The handle-to-blade angle facilitates ergonomic control during prolonged procedures and enables single-handed retraction when needed.
