Description
It is essential not to compress the body of the tick during removal, reducing the risk of saliva back-flow, which can lead to infections and/or allergies. Tweezers and other instruments exert pressure on the tick.
The shape of the O'Tom® Tick Twister® Tick Remover, designed by a veterinarian, considers the tick’s morphology. The tick’s mouthparts are covered with backwards-directed projections; this allows the tick to “anchor” in the skin. Pulling up on the tick, the spikes will rise and lock the mouth parts into the skin. The tick may break and leave parts in the skin, causing infection. By twisting motion, the spikes fold into the axis of rotation, and the tick is easily removed without traction, decreasing the risks of breaking the rostrum.
O'Tom® Tick Twister® hook removes ticks by rotation and not by pulling; among all instruments supposed to use rotation, it is the easiest to use because of its shape and size. Tick Twister® tick remover allows the user to hold the tick without compressing and removing it by twisting rather than pulling.
The O'Tom® Tick Twister® has three different size hooks in the pack: 1 x Large, 1 x Small and 1 x Micro.
