Tick Removal Tools

The tools and reviews about the tick removal tools below are simply some samples for you to look through before deciding to place an order. In the review, albeit a limited study, no one tool was preferred over another by the participants and all were declared successful.

Review of Three Tools

"Timely detection and removal are the most important factors in avoiding tick-borne diseases. Quick methods are therefore essential. At least three new and novel tick removal devices are available to the general public that could serve this role. This laboratory study evaluated their worthiness for safe removal. Although our criteria failed to distinguish the use of one tool above the others, all three were effective for deeply- and superficially-attached adult and nymphal ticks.

Each of the three volunteers subjectively preferred a different tool. If one tool feels better in the hands of the user it will most likely perform better. We advocate immediate removal using any of the three commercial tools over medium-tipped tweezers since tweezers were ineffective for removing nymphs."
