Sklar Merit Perry Cotton Pliers #312, Angled Serrated
An angled, serrated #312 pattern cotton plier measuring 5 inches, used to place and remove cotton rolls and small items during dental procedures.
The Sklar Merit Perry Cotton Pliers, pattern #312, is a general purpose dental instrument used to place and retrieve small items such as cotton rolls and cotton pellets within the mouth during a dental procedure. The angled tip and serrated jaw surface give the operator a secure grip on lightweight material while allowing comfortable access to the working area, reducing the chance of dropping an item during placement or removal.
At 5 inches, this pattern is slightly shorter than some other cotton pliers in the same product family, offering a more compact option for clinicians who prefer a smaller instrument for general chairside use. Cotton pliers of this type are among the most frequently used general instruments in dentistry, employed across restorative, hygiene and diagnostic appointments wherever isolation and moisture control matter.
Manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, it withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation between patients. It is a standard item in general dental instrument trays and diagnostic kits found in nearly every dental clinic performing routine restorative and hygiene work.
