Medline Industries, Inc. MDS202105 3" Cotton Tip Applicator Sterile 200/Box home health care

Sterile Cotton-Tipped Applicators

Medline MDS202105 applicators are sterile cotton-tipped tools intended for wound care and diagnostic use. Each box contains 200 individually wrapped units suitable for clinical and home health settings. The shaft combines wood and plastic for rigidity and control. They are designed for single-use applications where sterility is required.

Single-Use Sterility Constraint

Sterility is maintained only until the individual wrapper is opened; the applicators cannot be re-sterilised after use. They are latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions during wound contact. The wood and plastic shaft is not designed for repeated cleaning or autoclaving. Once used, the applicator must be disposed of according to medical waste protocols.

200-Count Box Capacity

A box of 200 applicators supports routine wound dressing changes and specimen collection over an extended period. High-volume clinics or frequent home care may require multiple boxes on hand. The count provides a practical buffer for daily use without excessive storage demands. When the box is depleted, a new sterile supply must be opened to maintain aseptic technique.
