Cotton Applicator Triangular 1.5mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine, controlled topical work in procedures that require precise placement or removal of fluids and agents. The small triangular cotton tip is suitable for applying antiseptics, anesthetics, stains, or topical hemostatic agents, as well as for delicate blotting and cleaning of confined surfaces under magnification. Common clinical settings include ophthalmic and ENT procedures, microsurgery, and any operative field requiring atraumatic, targeted absorption or delivery.

Design & Configuration

The triangular tip geometry concentrates cotton at a narrow edge and point, giving a balance of surface area for absorption and a defined profile for access into tight or angled spaces. The 1.5 mm tip dimension enables fine manipulation without obscuring vision under magnification. An 18 cm shaft provides extended reach into deeper cavities while maintaining tactile control at the handle for single-handed operation.
