Cotton Applicator 1.2mm, 12cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise topical delivery and focal absorption in confined or delicate operative fields. The fine 1.2 mm cotton tip enables controlled application of antiseptics, topical anesthetics, or hemostatic agents and efficient removal of small fluid volumes. Common uses include ophthalmic procedures, otolaryngology (external canal and middle ear work), microvascular and reconstructive cases, dental surgery, and routine wound-care tasks where access and gentle tissue contact are required.

Design & Configuration

The slender 12 cm shaft provides reach into cavities and narrow corridors while preserving tactile control. A compact 1.2 mm cotton tip concentrates absorbency and contact area for pinpoint application without excessive wetting of surrounding tissue. The single-ended configuration allows one-handed manipulation with a firm shaft that prevents flexing during delicate maneuvers, improving placement accuracy in microsurgical and ENT settings.
