Clinical Application
Used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine for controlled removal of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), milia, and small contained superficial lesions. The looped tip allows focused pressure to express contents while minimizing lateral shear on surrounding epidermis, supporting office-based extractions, acne procedures, and minor lesion management in clinics and surgery centers.
Design & Configuration
The looped extraction tip concentrates pressure over the lesion core to facilitate expression with reduced manual squeezing. A straight, 10 cm shaft provides tactile control and reach for precise placement while maintaining a comfortable distance between operator hand and treatment field. The Saalfeld pattern is engineered to balance effective extraction with minimized trauma to adjacent skin, which is important for reducing post-procedure irritation and potential scarring.
