Sklar Econo College Cotton Pliers

The Econo college cotton pliers from Sklar are a disposable dental instrument used to pick up, hold, and place small items such as cotton pellets, gauze, and other materials during routine dental treatment. The locking, serrated jaws grip these small items firmly enough to position them precisely within the confined space of the oral cavity, which is important for tasks such as isolating a tooth or placing a temporary dressing.

This listing is the size two build, a common working size for general dental practice. As a disposable instrument, the pliers are used for a single patient and then discarded, which is a straightforward infection control measure appropriate for an instrument that repeatedly enters the mouth during a course of treatment.

Dental clinics and general practice dentistry departments keep instruments like this readily on hand as part of everyday chairside supplies, since cotton pliers are used across almost every type of dental appointment from routine check-ups to restorative work. Their low cost as a disposable item makes them practical to keep in high volume for daily clinic use.
