Clinical Application
Designed to retain small cotton pledgets for precise delivery of topical medications, gentle hemostasis, blotting, or localized packing in confined fields. The 1.5 mm threaded tip holds small cotton pellets securely without frequent readjustment, making it useful in ophthalmic procedures, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive cases, dental surgeries, wound care and other minor operative or procedural settings where controlled fluid or agent application is required.
Design & Configuration
The externally threaded tip secures cotton pledgets by mechanical engagement, reducing slippage during insertion, manipulation, or removal. The 14 cm shaft provides extended reach into deeper cavities or recessed surgical sites while maintaining tactile control. The slim profile of the tip minimizes bulk at the working end so the clinician can position pledgets precisely and visualize surrounding anatomy during application.
