Visual inspection
Use one clean depressor per person and apply only light, controlled pressure. Stop if pain, gagging or mucosal injury occurs.
As an applicator
A depressor can also remove ointment or mixing material from a container without returning the same aid to the stock.
Single use
Inspect for splinters or rough edges and discard immediately after use. Do not use for a sterile procedure unless the individual packaging explicitly states that it is sterile.
