Farrel Cotton Applicator Triangular 16cm

Clinical Application

This triangular cotton applicator is intended for precise topical application and atraumatic manipulation in operative fields where controlled surface contact is required. Common uses include applying antiseptics, local anesthetics, hemostatic agents, or ointments; blotting or absorbing small amounts of fluid; and gentle tissue retraction or protection in ENT, ophthalmic, oral/maxillofacial, plastic and general surgery procedures. The triangular tip provides defined edges for working in narrow or irregular spaces without excessive bulk.

Design & Configuration

The triangular pledget concentrates cotton on three flattened faces, increasing usable surface area and allowing directional control for wiping or delivering solutions. The 16 cm overall length provides reach into deeper cavities or troughs while keeping the operator's hand clear of the sterile field. A rigid handled configuration gives tactile feedback and precise motion when applying agents or performing delicate surface manipulation.
