Fiber-coated applicators do not absorb moisture, so they can be used to apply:

• etchants
• connecting materials
• filling primers
• fluoride varnish
• fluids to stop bleeding
• liquids for identifying caries lesions
• liquids for sealing grooves and crevices

The applicators can be easily bent,

which allows for precise placement of the material in hard-to-reach cavities.

Non-pilling, non-absorbent fibers keep the liquid suspended until application.
