Sklar Merit College Cotton Pliers, Non-Pinching
A Sklar Merit college cotton pliers, model 49, non-pinching design, angled with serrated tips, 6 inches, used to grip cotton and small dental materials.
This Sklar Merit college cotton plier is built with a non-pinching mechanism, model 49, meaning the tips are designed to grip the item held without the risk of pinching the clinician's fingers as the plier closes, a design difference from the standard spring pattern and self-locking versions also carried in this range.
It has an angled shaft with serrated tips and measures 6 inches, suited to picking up cotton pledgets, dressings or small dental materials at chairside with a secure, controlled grip. It is used by dentists and dental assistants wherever a small item needs to be handled directly at the tooth surface, and the non-pinching mechanism is often preferred by clinicians who want a safer handling profile during repeated use throughout a busy appointment schedule.
It should be cleaned and sterilised between patients following standard dental instrument reprocessing protocols.
