Cotton pliers are essential instruments in dental diagnostics and procedures, primarily used for handling small materials like cotton rolls, gauze, and medicated pellets. Their fine, serrated tips ensure a secure grip, preventing slippage while placing or retrieving materials from the oral cavity.These pliers come in both locking and non-locking designs. Locking cotton pliers provide a firm hold on materials without requiring constant pressure, while non-locking ones allow for quick placement and removal. Their straight or angled beaks help reach different areas of the mouth, making them useful for procedures requiring precision and control.
These diagnostic cotton pilers are made from high-quality stainless steel, cotton pliers are corrosion-resistant, durable, and easy to sterilize for repeated use. They help maintain a clean working field by minimizing direct hand contact with oral tissues and materials. Whether used in routine check-ups or complex procedures, cotton pliers are indispensable in any dental setting.
