Frequently asked questions

Can the applicator strength be precisely adjusted?

The applicator strength can be precisely controlled by medical professionals using two primary methods:

  1. Water Dipping: The chemical action is modulated by lightly dipping the applicator tip in sterile, distilled water just prior to use. This allows for precise adjustment of the cauterization level required for the procedure.
  2. Solubility and Composition: Each tip contains a fixed, controlled ratio of 75% Silver Nitrate and 25% Potassium Nitrate. The tips are specially designed to be completely soluble in all bodily secretions, ensuring effective delivery of the active ingredients.

Furthermore, the total active ingredient load varies depending on the applicator length chosen, providing an additional layer of control over the total dosage applied:

  • 50 mg active ingredients (6-inch applicators)
  • 70 mg active ingredients (12-inch applicators)
  • 98 mg active ingredients (18-inch applicators)
Is the applicator shaft made of rigid wood for precision?

Yes, the Graham-Field Grafco applicator utilizes a rigid wooden shaft.

This construction is key for precision handling, ensuring medical professionals can achieve accurate and controlled placement of the chemical tip during procedures such as cauterization or the treatment of warts and granulated tissue.

Does the applicator allow for precise placement?

Yes, the Graham-Field Grafco Silver Nitrate Applicator is specifically engineered for precise, controlled application during professional medical procedures. Its design emphasizes stability and targeted treatment.

Key features supporting precise placement and controlled action include:

  • Rigid Wooden Shaft: The applicator utilizes a rigid wooden shaft, which ensures stable handling and allows practitioners to accurately place the active ingredients exactly where needed.
  • Controlled Formula: The tip is saturated with a precise compound of 75% Silver Nitrate and 25% Potassium Nitrate for reliable, localized chemical action.
  • Strength Adjustment: Practitioners can easily modulate the chemical effect by briefly dipping the tip in sterile, distilled water prior to application.
  • Complete Solubility: The active ingredients are completely soluble in all bodily secretions, guaranteeing full contact with the targeted tissue surface.
Is this medical device US-made and certified?

Yes, the Graham-Field Grafco Silver Nitrate Applicator is manufactured in the USA.

It is produced at the GF Health Products, Inc. facility in Rhode Island, which operates as an ISO 13485:2003 Certified Facility, guaranteeing high standards of quality management for medical devices.

Is a prescription required to purchase these applicators?

Yes, U.S. Federal Law prohibits dispensing Grafco® Silver Nitrate Applicators without a prescription. They are intended for professional use only.

Does the applicator use a precise chemical formula?

Yes, this applicator is designed for controlled, professional chemical treatment and utilizes a highly precise formula.

Key details regarding its composition and functionality:

  • Fixed Chemical Ratio: Each soluble tip contains a reliable, fixed ratio of 75% Silver Nitrate and 25% Potassium Nitrate. This composition ensures dependable results for localized cauterization and tissue removal.
  • Controlled Strength: Medical professionals can easily modulate the treatment strength by briefly dipping the tip in sterile, distilled water prior to application.
  • High Efficacy: The tips are soluble in all bodily secretions, guaranteeing full material utilization and effective contact with the target tissue (skin or mucous membranes).
  • Precision Handling: The device features a rigid wooden applicator shaft, which allows for extremely precise placement during procedures.
Are the silver nitrate tips highly soluble?

Yes, the Graham-Field Grafco Silver Nitrate tips are designed to be fully soluble in all bodily secretions.

This high solubility is a key selling point, as it aids significantly in the efficacy of the chemical treatment for procedures such as controlled cauterization and the removal of granulated tissue.

Is this product only for professional use?

Yes, the Graham-Field Grafco Silver Nitrate Applicator is strictly for professional medical use only.

Due to the nature of its active ingredients (75% Silver Nitrate and 25% Potassium Nitrate), U.S. Federal Law prohibits dispensing this product without a prescription.

  • Controlled cauterization of skin or mucous membranes.
  • Targeted removal of warts and granulated tissue.

Furthermore, the applicator is manufactured in a USA facility certified to ISO 13485:2003 standards, ensuring high quality and regulatory compliance.

Is the applicator effective for tissue removal?

Yes, the Graham-Field Grafco Silver Nitrate Applicator is highly effective and specifically intended for medical procedures requiring controlled chemical cauterization.

It is used professionally for:

  • Cauterization of skin or mucous membranes.
  • Removal of warts and granulated tissue.

Its performance relies on its precise engineering:

  • Fixed Chemical Ratio: Each tip provides a reliable concentration of 75% Silver Nitrate and 25% Potassium Nitrate.
  • Precision Control: The rigid wooden shaft allows for exact placement during application.
  • Strength Modulator: Strength can be adjusted by dipping the tip in sterile, distilled water before use.
  • Full Utilization: The tips are soluble in all bodily secretions, ensuring complete dissolution of the active ingredients.
