Farrel Cotton Applicator Triangular 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled delivery and removal of fluids, medicaments, and fine debris in operative and procedural settings. The triangular cotton tip provides a broad, flat contact surface that is useful for applying antiseptics, hemostatic agents, or topical anesthetics, for gentle cleansing of mucosal surfaces and wound beds, and for packing or dressing narrow cavities where atraumatic contact is required. The 23 cm length gives additional reach for deeper cavities or procedures where a longer working distance from the operator is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The rigid shaft plus triangular cotton pledget combines tactile control with a shaped contact surface. The triangular geometry increases surface area and provides defined edges for working into crevices and along contours, improving agent transfer and fluid control compared with round-tipped applicators. A firm shaft supports precise placement and retrieval without excessive bending, which is useful when working in confined or angled anatomy.
