Splitter sicher entfernen – und warum eine Spezialpinzette den Unterschied macht

Removing splinters safely – and why special tweezers make all the difference

 

A small splinter, big impact: anyone who has ever got a splinter while working with wood, gardening or walking barefoot knows how unpleasant it can be. Many people then reach for a pair of tweezers – often with limited success. In this article, I will show you how to remove splinters safely and why special splinter tweezers are significantly better than conventional models.

Step by step: How to remove splinters correctly

Preparation

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Clean the tweezers and the affected area of skin with a skin disinfectant.
  • Ensure you have good lighting – a magnifying glass can also help.

Removal

  1. Locate the splinter precisely and determine which side it has entered from.
  2. Place the tweezers as flat as possible so that only the tip touches the splinter.
  3. Pull the splinter out slowly and carefully – without jerking movements.
  4. Disinfect the area again and cover with a plaster if necessary.

Why splinter tweezers are better

Normal tweezers are often too blunt or imprecise to grasp very fine splinters. A splinter tweezers such as the REMOS splinter tweezers (9.5 cm, stainless steel) has several decisive advantages:

  • Extremely precise tips: Grasp even the finest splinters from wood, glass, metal or thorns.
  • Perfect closing pressure: No slipping, no gaps between the tips.
  • Stainless steel: Hygienic, durable, easy to clean.
  • Ergonomic shape: Better view of the affected area, reduced risk of injury.

    Care tips for a long service life

    • Clean and disinfect thoroughly after each use.
    • Store in a dry place, preferably in the protective cover provided.
    • Do not use for any other purpose (e.g. for craft work with glue 😉).

    Conclusion

    With the right technique and the right tool, splinters can be removed quickly, safely and almost painlessly.
    A high-quality splinter tweezers is not a gimmick, but a useful addition to any first aid kit – and can make all the difference in an emergency.
