MediPoint Splinter Out, First Aid Kit Refill Supplies for Business, Worksite, and Home, 10 Count

Awesome little tool to have when you need it. Works good on blisters as well.

I don't write reviews often. I slid my foot across our hardwood floor and ended up with a gnarly splinter embedded parallel to my foot. Couldn't get it out for the life of me. One use of the splinter out, worked like a charm. I'm splinter free. THANK YOU. For anyone having the same issue: Soak your foot for 30 minutes in warm/hot soapy water. Then, use the lancet point of the Splinter Out to gently feather away the top layers of skin. Typically this skin will be dead so the pain is minimal. Once a piece of the splinter is revealed, you can then grab it and remove it.

This is nothing more than a lancet, but it works. Both of my kids have cars now, and are heading off to college, so I have been buying first aid kits to put in their cars. They gave me the "mom-roll-eye" treatments, but soon after buying the first aid kits (like the next day) they were used by their friends, not once but twice in one day. I saw this, and read the write up and thought "what the heck" and ordered it. The very day it came in the mail, I had to pick up a small piece of plywood and lo and behold, I got a HUGE splinter in my hand. Not the little splinter you usually get, but the big plank type. I took one of these things out of the package (they are single use items) and was disappointed when I first saw it. I guess I was hoping for a miracle splinter extractor. It is not that....just a lancet, or metal plank with a metal point on the end. But it is razor sharp. You simple cut the skin on top of the splinter and lift the splinter out. The thing that makes this work is the flatness of the part you hold. A needle is small and round and difficult to hold, and the point is just a point. This is like a tiny knife, and it doesn't roll in your fingers. What would have been an hour or so event to get the splinter out, took just a few minutes once I figured out what I needed to do. So you use it to prick and slice the skin that is on top of the splinter to open up a channel so that the splinter lifts directly up. Very glad I ordered this on a whim. I haven't had a splinter in about 2 years, and the day this comes in the mail is the day I got one. I recommend buying burn gel also while you're at it.

Works well, sterile, individually wrapped, single use splitter remover. Will use again

Dose what it's meant for best way to remove splinters

Much better than a rusty pin, or your old jackknife - but that's not saying much is it? Seriously - The "key" to this kit is each individually wrapped "lancet," (which is a flat, flexible strip of metal with a triangular point on one end.) The point is sharpened like a knife, so - not only can you pierce the skin to "get under" the splinter - but you can also "cut" along the splinter to help get it out. The lancets are small enough to get wherever the splinter is, but offer a lot of excise "control." So efficient that the splinter is "out" in no time - and that's what you want if you get a splinter or three.

Works easy. Painless. Although my splinter is still in my finger, but not because of these. It’s just on there super deep.

Haven’t used them yet but in my er kit and are great to have on hand
