Sklar Kyle Applicator, Sawtell Triangle End 6-1/2 Inch
A 6-1/2 inch applicator with a triangle end, used to apply medication or hold packing material in place during ENT nasal examinations and procedures.
The Sklar Kyle Applicator, also known in this listing as the Sawtell Applicator, is an ENT instrument measuring 6-1/2 inches with a distinctive triangle shaped end. This tip geometry is designed to carry a small amount of cotton wool or similar material soaked with a topical medication, such as a decongestant or local anesthetic, into the nasal cavity for targeted application, a routine step before certain nasal examinations or minor procedures.
The triangular end also helps position the material securely against the nasal mucosa rather than letting it shift during insertion. ENT surgeons, allergists and general practitioners performing nasal endoscopy or minor nasal procedures use applicators of this pattern as part of standard preparation for patient comfort and improved visualization.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between patients following standard reprocessing protocols, with the triangle end checked before use to confirm it remains smooth and free of sharp edges that could injure the nasal mucosa.
