Director and Tongue Tie by Sklar

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.
