Uckermann Cotton Applicator 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise, atraumatic application and localized absorption in surgical and procedural settings. Useful for applying antiseptics, local hemostatic agents, and lubricants; for cleaning small wounds or surgical fields; and for gentle manipulation or packing of cavities where controlled, small-volume contact is required. Commonly used in general surgery, ENT, ophthalmic assist tasks, dental and ambulatory procedure suites.

Design & Configuration

The 15 cm shaft length provides reach into superficial cavities and wound beds while maintaining tactile control for fine maneuvers. A rigid shaft transmits accurate hand movements to the cotton tip, enabling precise placement and withdrawal without excessive tip collapse. The cotton-wrapped tip offers a soft, absorbent contact surface that reduces tissue trauma while retaining fluids for controlled application or removal.
