Farrel Cotton Applicator Triangular 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled delivery and removal of topical agents and fluids in operative and procedure settings. The triangular cotton head provides a broad, flat surface for even application of antiseptics, local hemostatic agents, and topical medications, while also permitting atraumatic manipulation and light packing in small cavities (e.g., otolaryngology, dermatologic procedures, minor plastic surgery, wound care and bedside procedures). The 14 cm shaft length gives clinicians reach into deeper wounds or confined operative fields while maintaining tactile control.

Design & Configuration

The triangular tip geometry increases surface contact compared with round swabs, improving distribution of liquids and absorption over a compact area. Three oriented edges and flat facets allow the clinician to change presentation rapidly—use a facet for broad coverage, an apex for focal work, or an edge for gentle sweeping. The straight shaft and balanced length optimize reach and one-handed control during precision tasks where space and visualization are limited.
