Controlled Cotton Handling with Angled, Smooth Jaws

The London-College cotton pliers are 6-inch pliers intended for grasping and placing cotton during routine instrument handling. Their angled profile helps support access and visibility when working within the operative field, while the smooth jaws are suited to controlled handling of cotton without relying on a textured gripping surface. For dental and general surgery workflows, this configuration provides a practical option for positioning cotton or similar soft materials during procedures, preparation, and cleanup tasks. The familiar plier format supports focused manipulation while helping keep hands away from the immediate working area.

Use Cases

• Grasp and position cotton during dental procedures and chairside instrument workflows.
• Handle cotton or similar soft materials during general surgery preparation and procedural tasks.
• Use the angled shape to support access where a straight approach may be less convenient.
• Apply controlled handling when placing, adjusting, or removing cotton within the working field.
