Cotton Applicator Triangular 1.5mm, 12cm

Clinical Application

This small-diameter triangular cotton applicator is intended for precise, localized application and controlled absorption during procedures that require gentle, accurate contact. The 1.5 mm triangular tip is suitable for tasks such as delivering topical medications, applying staining agents, blotting or wicking small volumes of blood or exudate, and controlled irrigation in confined operative fields. Common clinical settings include ophthalmic surgery, ENT procedures, microsurgery, plastics, and minor surgical or office-based interventions where a fine-point, absorbent applicator improves procedural control.

Design & Configuration

The triangular tip geometry concentrates absorbent material into three defined edges and a narrow point, allowing both pinpoint delivery and a low-profile flat surface when rotated. This shape enhances tactile feedback and directional control compared with rounded tips, enabling precise placement of fluids and atraumatic contact with delicate tissues. The 12 cm overall length provides reach into deeper or narrow workspaces while maintaining instrument handling ergonomics for manual control.
