Cotton Applicator Triangular 1.5mm, 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise topical work in confined or delicate anatomy, this triangular cotton applicator provides controlled application and absorption of antiseptics, local anesthetics, hemostatic agents, and diagnostic stains. It is suited for use during ophthalmic, otolaryngology, plastic/reconstructive, microsurgical and minor general surgical procedures where a small, shaped tip aids access and minimizes collateral contact. Typical tasks include targeted cleansing, drying of a field before suture or adhesive application, gentle manipulation or retraction of tissue margins, and delivery or removal of fluids in narrow cavities.

Design & Configuration

The 1.5 mm triangular tip geometry offers a combination of a fine point and flat edges: the point allows entry into tight recesses while the edges provide a broader contact area for spreading solutions or blotting. The 14 cm shaft length gives reach into deep or narrow operative sites while maintaining control and visibility near the working tip. The cotton tip provides predictable absorbency and a soft contact surface to reduce trauma when working against delicate tissues.
