Features and Benefits:
This unique kit contains two ideal stainless steel instruments for effective, convenient splinter removal:
• Our Splinter Liberator is a pen-like tool that has a sharp pointed end safely protected in a reversible round knurled handle (Simply remove the liberator tip by turning counterclockwise and screw back in place to use. After splinter removal, clean, dry and replace in its original position).
• The Walter Splinter Forceps has a wide comfort grip handle for stability and a precise serrated triangular shaped working end ideally suited to grasp the tip of a splinter fragment (After splinter removal, clean, dry and store).
Instructions to Remove a Splinter:
• Sterilize the instruments in boiling water or a flame; they can also be wiped clean with an alcohol pad.
• Clean the affected area with another alcohol pad (do not use soap and water which can soften a wood splinter making it more difficult to remove).
• Use the Splinter Liberator to open or stretch the “tunnel” created by the splinter in order to expose the fragment end.
• Once the end is sufficiently exposed, grip it with the Splinter Forceps and pull out the splinter.
• Clean the area with soap and water; apply an antibiotic cream and bandage as necessary…
