Farrel Cotton Applicator Threaded 23cm

Clinical Application

Provides a controlled method to apply topical solutions, antiseptics, hemostatic agents, or medications to confined or deeper sites. The length and slim shaft offer reach into nasal, aural, oral, wound, and surgical cavity locations where precise placement or gentle packing is required. Commonly used in ENT procedures, minor OR cases, wound care, ophthalmic surface preparation, and clinic-based minor procedures for cleaning, drying, and localized medication delivery.

Design & Configuration

The threaded attachment secures a cotton tip to a rigid shaft, allowing quick replacement of soiled tips without exchanging the entire instrument. A 23 cm shaft length provides extended reach for access into deeper cavities while preserving tactile control at the handle. The narrow profile minimizes obstruction of the field and enables targeted application with reduced risk of contaminating surrounding tissue.
