Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic handling and placement of cotton swabs and pledgets in a wide range of clinical settings, including minor surgical procedures, ENT and nasal packing, wound care and dressing changes, ophthalmic external procedures, and operative field cleaning. The instrument enables precise placement and manipulation of swabs for topical medication delivery, controlled absorption of fluids, and gentle packing of cavities where fingertip access is limited.
Design & Configuration
The straight 27 cm profile provides extended reach into deeper cavities and narrow anatomical corridors while keeping the operator’s hand clear of the field. A slim shaft preserves visual access and allows single-handed rotation and advancement of a swab. The jaw geometry is optimized to secure cotton swabs without excessive compression, supporting controlled application and retrieval during delicate tasks.
