Sklar Rectal Cotton Carrier, 15 Inch
A 15 inch cotton carrier from Sklar used by clinicians to apply cotton or topical medication precisely during rectal and anorectal examination procedures.
The Sklar Rectal Cotton Carrier is a long, slender instrument used to carry a wrap of cotton into the rectal or anal canal for applying topical medication, absorbing fluid or cleaning the area during an examination or minor procedure. Its 15 inch length gives the clinician enough reach to work within the rectal cavity from an external approach, without needing to insert their hand directly.
Colorectal surgeons, general surgeons and gastroenterologists use a cotton carrier of this kind during anorectal examinations and treatments, valuing the controlled, targeted way it lets them apply solution or absorb material exactly where needed rather than relying on a shorter instrument or direct hand contact.
This is a specialised length compared with general purpose cotton applicators used elsewhere on the body, reflecting the specific anatomical requirements of rectal examination. Colorectal surgery clinics and general surgical outpatient departments treating anorectal conditions typically stock this instrument as standard examination equipment.
