Sklar Pelteson Cotton Applicator, Curved, 9 Inch
A curved 9 inch cotton applicator from Sklar used to apply cotton or topical medication to tissue precisely during minor surgical and ENT procedures.
The Sklar Pelteson Cotton Applicator is a slender instrument used to carry a small wrap of cotton to a precise point on tissue, commonly for applying topical medication, controlling minor bleeding or cleaning a surgical or examination site. The curved shaft, measuring 9 inches, allows the clinician to reach around anatomical curves and into narrower passages, such as those encountered in ENT or minor gynaecological procedures, where a straight applicator would not sit at the right angle.
Clinicians load a small amount of cotton onto the tip of the applicator before use, giving a controlled, targeted way to apply pressure or solution exactly where it is needed without contaminating the surrounding field with a hand or swab. Instruments of this kind are a routine, low cost item in ENT clinics, gynaecology suites and minor procedure rooms, and facilities typically keep several on hand given their frequent, everyday use.
