Sklar Merit Comedone Extractor, 4 in

A comedone extractor is a small dermatological instrument used to apply gentle, even pressure around a blackhead or comedone, expressing its contents without squeezing the surrounding skin by hand. This Sklar Merit version measures 4 inches and is double ended, combining a spear point on one end for opening a comedone and a round, fenestrated loop on the other for the extraction step itself, giving the clinician two functions on a single handle.

It is used by dermatologists, aestheticians working under clinical supervision and general practitioners performing minor skin procedures wherever comedones or similar blocked pores need to be treated cleanly and with minimal trauma to the surrounding skin. The fenestrated loop design allows expressed material to pass through rather than build up against the instrument tip during use.

It should be cleaned and sterilised between patients following standard clinical instrument reprocessing protocols.
