Farrel Cotton Applicator Threaded 12cm

Clinical Application

This threaded cotton applicator handle provides controlled, atraumatic delivery of antiseptics, hemostatic agents, topical anesthetics, and saline to wounds, mucosal surfaces, and confined surgical sites. It is commonly used in minor procedures, wound care, ENT and ophthalmic procedures, plastic and reconstructive cases, and sterile dressing changes where precise placement of a cotton pledget or swab is required.

Design & Configuration

The threaded shaft secures a screw-on cotton pledget to the handle, ensuring a stable attachment during manipulation and reducing slippage compared with friction-fit tips. The 12 cm length provides tactile control and reach into shallow cavities or deep pockets while maintaining visibility of the working tip. The slim, straight profile allows fine positioning and gentle tissue contact for controlled application without excessive bulk.
