We propose an optimized approach that combines large (8-10 mm) and small (3-5 mm) cotton swabs for liquid nitrogen cryotherapy . During the procedure, both swabs are dipped into liquid nitrogen simultaneously. The small swab then contacts the lesion . Through gravitational force, liquid nitrogen seeps along the cotton fibers or pre-designed channels to the small swab’s head. The large swab acts as a reservoir, transferring cryogen to the small swab via gravity. This ensures precise application of liquid nitrogen directly to the target lesion.
