Farrel Cotton Applicator Trocar Point 18cm

Clinical Application

This instrument combines a precision trocar point with an absorbent cotton tip to provide controlled access and topical delivery in minor surgical and procedural settings. It is used for targeted application of antiseptics, hemostatic agents or medications, atraumatic wiping and fluid pickup in confined anatomical spaces, gentle probing, and packing or dressing placement in areas such as nasal, aural, oral, and other small cavities. The sharp trocar point facilitates controlled penetration or passage through membranes or dense tissue when required while the cotton tip permits immediate local treatment or specimen collection.

Design & Configuration

The rigid shaft terminating in a trocar point gives the user tactile feedback and precise control for puncture, probing or placement tasks. The absorbent cotton tip retains fluids and delivers topical agents without splatter, enabling localized application with reduced contamination risk. At 18 cm overall length the instrument provides reach for deeper cavities and enhanced handling in procedures where length and control are important. The combination of a sharp point and an absorbent applicator on a single instrument reduces instrument exchanges and supports efficient workflow.
