Cotton Applicator Threaded 1.5mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Threaded cotton applicators provide precise, controlled delivery and placement of cotton pledgets for topical medication delivery, localized hemostasis, gentle debridement, and cavity packing. Their narrow 1.5 mm threaded tip is suitable for work in small anatomic spaces encountered in ENT, ophthalmic procedures, dermatologic and plastic surgery, minor procedures in the clinic or OR, and for dressing changes where a secure cotton tip is required.

Design & Configuration

The threaded tip captures and secures a small cotton pledget, preventing slippage during insertion, placement, or removal. A 1.5 mm threaded profile provides a fine tip for targeted application while an 18 cm shaft length gives extended reach into deeper cavities or surgical fields without compromising control. The slender shaft geometry facilitates visibility and maneuverability in confined anatomy and allows one-handed placement and retrieval of the cotton tip.
