Devices for applying a substance, such as medicine, to an exposed area of tissue. Applicator sticks are typically long, thin pieces of wood that may be flat or rounded. Substances or medications are placed on one end of the applicator stick, which is then applied to the affected area. The applicator sticks can also be used for transferring specimens and mixing substances. They are generally handheld, disposable, and do not have a swab at the end.
