Topic: Name this Medical Tool

[CBJoe]

Anyone in medical field that can tell me the name of this stainless steel depressor / spade / spoon thing?  Measures about 7.5” along.

Works great for random tool...had it for 20
Years and no clue what it’s real name is..would like to grab a few more for garage and tool boxes.

Damnit Jerry!  That was one of those things I looked up for a while trying to use the term spade, scraper, depressor, etc...

Of course it’s slatula....thanks!

I’ll buy you a beer for that if you come to mid Ohio

That Is what they use to spread out the JB Weld, when you have a leaky heart valve..

check out dental tool supplies for loads of stuff like that

i got given a whole dentists surgery years ago and there were loads of handy little spatulas, hooks, picks, grinders, all sorts of stuff

and of course the dentists chair is a great place to sit back and have a relaxing herbal remedy after a hard days work

I also have dentist tools including root canal reemers , work like a charm on the Kei Hin jets on CBX

 That looks more like something a sculptor would use on clay than a medical device.

unlikely to be made of stainless for sculpting, more likely wood or plastic, also the knurling would fill up with slippery goo and then go hard and be a pain in the arse

In EU we call it „raspatorium“.

That's a double ended #8-P wax spatula..used in dental profession. Can get through any dental supply house (also other similar styles).

 I ran some new pipes through clean / soiled utility in a hospital once, (two different rooms) I had to gown up and work inside a tent with filtered air. They had some shh it hanging on the wall I'm not describing because you guys don't need those nightmares.
