Clinical Application
Designed for controlled delivery of topical agents, precise absorption of fluids, and the ability to traverse soft tissue planes or membranes when needed. The trocar point provides a sharp, focused tip for puncture or passage through septa and membranes, while the cotton pledget permits application of antiseptics, local anesthetic, hemostatic agents, or gentle wound packing. Common uses include ENT procedures, nasal and sinus access, minor surgical and dental manipulation, and targeted wound-care tasks where reach and precision are required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument combines a rigid shaft with a sharpened trocar point and an attached cotton pledget. The trocar point concentrates force for controlled penetration without undue tissue trauma, allowing clinicians to create a small access point or to negotiate tight spaces. The cotton tip covers the point for delivery and absorption: it retains fluids for topical treatment and provides a soft interface when used for packing or wiping. The 23 cm length offers additional reach into deeper cavities or surgical fields while maintaining tactile control.
