Cotton Applicator Threaded 1.5mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

A slender, reusable cotton applicator with a 1.5 mm threaded tip provides controlled delivery and retention of small cotton pledgets for precise topical tasks. Common clinical uses include targeted application of medications or anesthetics, localized hemostasis, placement and removal of pledgets in nasal or ear cavities, wound management in dermatologic and plastic procedures, and cleaning or irrigation in confined operative fields where a small, secure cotton tip improves accuracy.

Design & Configuration

The threaded tip accepts and secures small cotton pledgets, minimizing slippage and fraying during manipulation. The 16 cm shaft length gives reach into deeper cavities or extended surgical fields while preserving fine tactile control at the tip. The single-ended, slim profile allows unobstructed visualization and access in narrow anatomy, and the threaded interface enables repeatable placement of uniform pledgets for consistent topical delivery.
