Sklar Splinter Removal Kit, Carmalt and Vanguard
A compact kit combining a Carmalt splinter forceps and a Vanguard splinter pick in one storage case, used to remove splinters and foreign bodies.
The Sklar Splinter Removal Kit brings together two complementary instruments for extracting splinters and small foreign bodies from the skin. It contains one Carmalt splinter forceps at four and a quarter inches for gripping and pulling out the splinter, and one Vanguard splinter pick at four and a half inches for lifting or exposing a splinter that sits just under the skin surface before it is grasped.
Both instruments are held together in a convenient storage case, keeping the set organised and ready to hand rather than searched for individually. Kits like this are used in emergency departments, urgent care clinics, general practice and occupational health settings, where minor foreign body removal is a routine and frequent task for nurses and physicians.
Because both components are reusable stainless steel instruments, the complete kit is cleaned, inspected and sterilized between patients following the facility's standard minor procedure protocol.
