Caustic applicators are useful for cauterization of skin or mucous membrane and for the removal of
granulation tissue, warts and verrucae.
Prior to use, the applicator stick may be bent or shaped to allow easier access to the target area. The
medicated end of the applicator should be moistened in clean water and applied to the affected tissue.
One applicator is normally sufficient for each application. The strength of the action is controlled by
the amount of water used to moisten the tip. The applicator action can be stopped by washing the area
with a saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride).
