That was not to moisten the cloth (as if it were water), but to apply an
anesthetic or other medication.  They were always using ordinary household
items as medical tools or instruments.

On an unrelated topic, Spock's "coffin" was in fact an inert photon torpedo
casing.  It sure beats wrapping up the body in bandages and dumping it out
with the garbage!
