Cotton Applicator 1.2mm, 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for focused delivery and localized absorption of fluids in procedures that require fine control. Common uses include application of topical medications, antiseptics, stains or dyes, and small-volume hemostatic agents; gentle clearing or drying of small operative fields; and atraumatic manipulation or separation of delicate tissues in ophthalmic, ear/nose/throat, plastic, and microsurgical settings. The small 1.2 mm tip enables work in confined or delicate anatomical spaces where larger applicators would be cumbersome.

Design & Configuration

The combination of a 14 cm shaft and a 1.2 mm cotton tip provides reach into narrow cavities while maintaining tactile control at the distal end. The small, rounded cotton head concentrates absorbency and transfer to a confined footprint, reducing spread of solution and limiting patient exposure. A single-ended slender configuration simplifies handling and allows precise orientation of the tip during application or micro-absorption tasks.

Instrument Specifications

• Tip diameter: 1.2 mm
• Overall length: 14 cm
• Tip type: tightly-wound rounded cotton tip for focused absorption/application
• Configuration: single-ended slender shaft for precision access
• Intended uses: topical application, drying/clearing small fields, gentle tissue manipulation

Material & Construction

The tip is formed from a tightly-wound, absorbent cotton assembly bonded to a slender shaft engineered for precise handling. The construction emphasizes a small, consistent tip geometry and secure tip bonding to minimize shedding during use. Shaft stiffness is balanced to provide reach without excessive flex for controlled placement.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
