Features and Description:

The Cotton Applicator with 3 Expanding Jaws provides a specialized solution for handling large swabs and cotton packs in deep anatomical cavities. Because this instrument features a unique mechanical jaw system, it allows the clinician to grip and release cotton material with exceptional security. Consequently, it serves as an indispensable tool for gynecological, thoracic, and deep abdominal procedures where standard applicators lack the necessary reach or grip.

Furthermore, the elongated shaft ensures that the surgeon’s hand remains completely outside the line of sight. Therefore, the clinician maintains total visibility while performing high-precision cleaning or medication application.

Key Features

  • Triple-Jaw Expanding System: Three precision-engineered jaws expand to encompass cotton wool or gauze sponges. As a result, the instrument provides a multi-point grip that prevents the material from slipping during use.
  • Extended Reach Options: We offer this applicator in 28 cm (11″) and 38 cm (15″) lengths. For this reason, it is the ideal choice for accessing deep vaginal, rectal, or thoracic surgical sites.
  • Manual Spring Control: The user regulates the jaw expansion via a smooth spring-action mechanism. In addition, this provides immediate tactile feedback, allowing for a controlled and gentle grip on soft materials.
  • Atraumatic Tip Design: The jaws feature rounded edges to protect delicate mucosal linings. Thus, the clinician can perform deep-cavity swabbing without the risk of accidental tissue trauma.
  • High-Grade Stainless Steel Build: We manufacture each applicator from premium surgical steel to ensure maximum durability. Moreover, the instrument is fully autoclavable and resists the corrosive effects of repeated sterilization.
