Clinical Application
Designed to deliver, position and retrieve cotton pledgets and small topical dressings in confined or deep fields. The trocar-point tip allows the operator to impale or secure a cotton pledget for controlled placement, making it useful for procedures requiring accurate topical application—common in ENT, ophthalmic, minor open procedures, wound care and procedural packing.
Design & Configuration
The straight, slender shaft and 12 cm working length provide reach into narrow cavities while maintaining tactile control at the distal tip. The trocar-point geometry produces a sharp, tapered penetration point so a cotton pledget can be pierced and retained on the shaft for precise delivery and removal. The simple shaft-and-tip configuration minimizes bulk in the field and supports one-handed operation for efficient topical application.
