It looks like a retractor of some sort. Can you put something in the pics to give a sense of scale?

Look like tissue retractors for surgery to me. They hold extra stuff out of the way during open surgery.
What your going to do with 20 of them i have no idea, maybe you could build a replica steel girder bridge.

Do you know the exact name ?

They look like malleable retractors. Can you bend them?

They look like simple tongue depressors to me. Makes even more sense that it is so since you were ordering for dental/oral supplies. Probably a mix up by the seller.

edit: I remember these now! I used these during an ENT rotation. They are called Lack's tongue depressors. The little bend on one end of the depressor is where you keep your ring finger of your hand to use as a fulcrum for depressing the tongue. The other end is the part where you place in the patient's mouth 😀.

A quick google search will confirm what i'm saying =).

Good luck returning/getting rid of all those tongue depressors ;D
