Wooden Applicators for Waxing and Esthetic Services

• Area being treated
• Required application precision
• Wood surface and edge finish
• Sterile or nonsterile configuration
• Individual or bulk packaging
• Manufacturer’s intended use

Products described only as tongue depressors should be used according to their labeling and applicable professional protocols.
