Lister (Sinus) Swab Fcps 12.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure handling and placement of swabs, cottonoids and nasal packing during otolaryngology (ENT) and sinus procedures, minor surgical procedures, and clinical wound/dressing management. The short, precise length and swab-specific tip geometry permit controlled introduction and removal of dressings in confined spaces such as the nasal cavity and sinus meatus, and are useful for irrigation, hemostasis assistance, and specimen swabbing when delicate manipulation is required.

Design & Configuration

The compact 12.5 cm length balances reach with fingertip control for procedures in narrow or superficial cavities. A slender shank reduces obstruction of the surgical field, while the swab-oriented tip geometry is shaped to cradle and retain cotton or gauze without puncturing the material. The hand-held forceps configuration enables single-handed placement, removal and repositioning of dressings and packing, improving efficiency during packing or hemostatic maneuvers.
