A common method of liquid-nitrogen treatment is with the use of the cotton-tipped applicator. Cross-contamination is possible when the applicator is repeatedly dipped into the liquid nitrogen supply. Described is a sterilizable device to hold a small portion of nitrogen sufficient for treatment of a single patient.
