Tongue depressor

A tongue depressor 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,〔(Mirriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary )〕 but, historically, tongue depressors have been made of a variety of materials.〔Cohen, J Solis. ''Diseases of the Throat and Nasal Passages: A Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Affections of the Pharynx, Oesophagus, Trachea, Larynx, and Nares. Chapter II, Examination of the Throat and Nasal Passages.'' Published by W. Wood, 1884, 742 pp.〕 Since they are inexpensive and difficult to clean, wooden tongue depressors are labeled for disposal after a single use.〔(Landro, L. Hospitals Reuse Medical Devices To Lower Costs Wall Street Journal March 19, 2008. )〕
Hobbyists and teachers have found a multitude of uses for tongue depressors (sometimes called "craft sticks," or "Meyerhoffer sticks") in their projects.〔Kent Wood, Ric LaBan. ''N Scale Model Railroad That Grows'' Kalmbach Publishing, Co., 1996.〕〔LaBritta Gilbert, Linda Greigg. ''Do touch: instant, easy hands-on learning experiences for young children'' Published by Gryphon House, Inc., 1989.〕 Tongue depressors may be used to form so-called "stick bombs".
Earlier versions of depressors were made from balsa, pine, or redwood woods. For instance, tongue depressors from the American Civil War which were made from wood and metal exist.〔(Echols, M. Items on the 1865 inventory list of the Conesus, N.Y. Military Hospital, June 2010. )〕
