Clinical Application
Designed for proctologic procedures that require precise placement of cotton pledgets or medicated wicks through a rectoscope. The instrument permits controlled introduction, positioning, and release of pledgets for topical medication delivery, localized hemostasis, or short-term packing of biopsy or treatment sites within the anorectal canal. It is commonly used in clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital settings during diagnostic and therapeutic rectal procedures.
Design & Configuration
The 31 cm overall length provides sufficient reach to pass a pledget through a rectoscope lumen to the intended target while maintaining tactile control at the handle. The slim, straight shaft and cup-style distal tip are configured to retain a cotton pledget during insertion and allow controlled release once positioned. A low-profile distal geometry minimizes bulk within the rectoscope and reduces the risk of tissue trauma during insertion and withdrawal.
