Cotton Applicator 1.2mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled topical delivery and atraumatic surface contact in a wide range of procedures. The fine 1.2 mm cotton tip is intended for precise application of antiseptics, anesthetics, adhesives, hemostatic agents, and topical medications; targeted blotting or removal of secretions and debris; and gentle tissue manipulation in confined or deep fields. Common uses include ophthalmic, ENT, dental, dermatologic, microsurgical and general surgical tasks where access and accuracy matter.

Design & Configuration

The slender profile and 16 cm length provide extended reach into pockets and cavities while maintaining tactile control at the tip. The small-diameter cotton tip concentrates fluids for targeted placement and minimizes spread to adjacent tissues. A rigid shaft supports precise hand movements, enabling delicate surface work without excessive compression of tissue.
