Clinical Application
Designed to deliver and position cotton pledgets or swabs with precision, this threaded applicator is used for applying antiseptics, local anesthetics, hemostatic agents, or ointments and for localized drying or gentle manipulation in small or deep cavities. Common clinical settings include minor procedures in ENT, ophthalmic and plastic surgery, wound care, and procedure rooms where controlled placement of a cotton pledget is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight, slender handle provides tactile control and direct line-of-sight access to confined areas. The threaded tip accepts and secures a cotton pledget or roll, preventing slippage during insertion, application, or removal. The 16 cm overall length balances reach and control—long enough to access deeper recesses while remaining maneuverable for delicate work.
