Wooden Tongue Depressors — Medical-Grade Manufacturer in Pakistan

Poplar Works manufactures wooden tongue depressors for hospitals, clinics, pharmacy chains and diagnostic-kit assemblers across Pakistan. We produce all three clinical sizes from a single Lahore facility: the adult 6″ standard (152 × 18 × 1.8 mm) that matches the international ENT and general-examination format, a 5.5″ junior for paediatric use, and a slim 4.5″ infant depressor for newborn exams and swab kits. Every blade ships with smooth bevelled ends so it sits comfortably against the tongue without catching soft tissue.

Poplar is the right wood for an oral-cavity instrument. It is naturally pale, odourless and taste-neutral, so it does not interfere with examination, and our kiln-drying to a controlled moisture level keeps the blade rigid enough to depress the tongue without flexing or snapping mid-use. The surface is sanded splinter-free and polished, which matters more here than on any other stick we make — this is a single-use instrument that goes inside a patient's mouth.

As a direct manufacturer rather than an importer, we control thickness consistency, edge finish and packaging in-house. That lets us supply medical distributors and OEM kit packers reliable, repeatable batches at wholesale volumes, with sealed blister-pack options for branded clinical supply and bulk carton packing for high-throughput hospital procurement.

FAQ

Buyer questions

What sizes of wooden tongue depressor do you manufacture?

We produce three standard clinical sizes: the adult 6″ at 152 × 18 × 1.8 mm (the international ENT and general-examination standard), a 5.5″ junior for paediatric use, and a 4.5″ infant blade for newborn exams and swab kits. All three have rounded, bevelled ends. We can also cut to a custom length or width for specific kit requirements.

What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale?

Wholesale orders start from a single box of approximately 500 depressors, which suits smaller clinics and pharmacies. Distributors and hospital-supply buyers typically order by the carton of 5,000 or by the pallet, where unit pricing is lowest. Tell us your monthly volume and we will quote accordingly.

Are the depressors safe for oral contact?

Yes. They are made from medical-grade poplar — odourless, taste-neutral and sanded splinter-free, then smoothly polished for single-use intra-oral examination, so the wood imparts no taste or smell. The depressors are supplied clean and single-use (non-sterile); if your protocol requires sterilisation, sterilise them in-house before use.

Can you supply blister packs or custom branding?

Yes. Alongside bulk boxes and cartons, we offer sealed blister-pack options and custom printed branding for medical chains, pharmacy private labels and OEM diagnostic kits. Note that the depressors are supplied clean and single-use (non-sterile) unless you arrange a separate, validated sterilisation step.

Do you deliver across Pakistan and handle export orders?

We ship nationwide from our Lahore facility — Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and beyond — via our own transport or your logistics partner. Stock items leave promptly. We also handle export orders; contact us with your destination and volume for a landed quote.
