medical report on appendectomy
Last bit in the medical report I am translating: 'gesteelde depper'
'Reinigen van het cavum Douglasi middels een gesteelde depper'.
What would be the English term for 'gesteelde depper'? Does this type of compression have a special name in English, or would 'by means of compression' suffice here?
Thank you!

Comment: "Thanks to everyone for their replies, which I could split the Kudoz, but decided to go for 'swab on a stick', confirmed by another source."

clean and dab dry
I would use something like "clean and dab dry the cavum Douglasi"; and certainly NOT use the term "compression", which is something completely different.

surgical compress
"soms is het nodig het bloedverlies te stoppen met een gesteelde depper (compressie)."

gesteelde depper is eigenlijk een depper op handvat (gereedschap van een chirurg, lijkt op een afwasborstel)
