Description

Sklar's Director and Tongue Tie is commonly used in examining the mouth of a pediatric patient. It is also used in the treatment of ankyloglossia, or "tongue tie." One end of the instrument is flat, and the other can be pointed or have a small, round probe. The flat end is the tongue tie. It is pear shaped with a central split from the distal end. The split in the flat end assists in isolating and stabilizing the tongue or the lingual frenulum during procedures. The pointed or probe end is used to examine the rest of the mouth.

Frequently asked questions

Is this instrument suitable for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this instrument is a safe choice for your clinic. It is constructed entirely without natural rubber latex, ensuring it is suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.

Can this tool be used for general oral examinations as well?

Absolutely. While it is specialized for tongue-tie procedures, the opposite end features a dedicated probe design, making it highly effective for conducting thorough examinations of the rest of the oral cavity.

Is the stainless steel material durable for repeated sterilization?

Yes. This instrument is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, designed specifically to withstand the rigors of repeated use in a clinical setting.

Does the split end provide effective stability during procedures?

Yes, the pear-shaped flat end is engineered with a central split specifically to isolate and stabilize the lingual frenulum, providing you with precise control during corrective procedures.

Is this device certified for compliance with federal standards?

Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) Compliant, meeting the necessary standards for quality and procurement requirements.

What is the primary application for this instrument?

This 6-inch director is primarily utilized in:

  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Neonatology
  • Specialized oral surgeries specifically for diagnosing and treating ankyloglossia (tongue tie).
How is the instrument prepared for use upon arrival?

Please note that this instrument is delivered non-sterile. You will need to follow your facility’s standard sterilization protocols for surgical instruments before its first use.

Does the instrument offer a balanced design for clinical work?

Yes, the 6-inch length provides a professional, slender, and symmetrical profile, allowing for comfortable handling and precise manipulation during oral exams and procedures.

Is this a single-use or reusable surgical tool?

This is a reusable instrument. It is designed for longevity and repeated clinical use, making it an efficient addition to your surgical toolset.

Why is the pear-shaped design preferred for tongue-tie procedures?

The pear-shaped geometry, combined with the central split, is specifically optimized to cradle and cradle the lingual frenulum effectively, allowing for secure isolation that a standard flat probe might not achieve.
