Katsch/Walton Comedo Extractor 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for dermatology and minor-procedure use, this comedo extractor provides controlled, focal pressure to evacuate comedones, blackheads, whiteheads and superficial follicular plugs. Its looped tips enable atraumatic expression of lesions while minimizing manual pinching and reducing surface skin trauma. Commonly used in medical dermatology, aesthetic clinics and procedural rooms for office-based extractions and skin care treatments.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended loop configuration allows the operator to choose the most appropriate loop diameter for the lesion being treated—one end for finer, small lesions and the opposite end for larger or more superficial plugs. The 14 cm overall length balances working reach and hand control for precision extractions on the face, back and chest. A rigid shaft transmits controlled pressure to the loop without excessive flex, improving procedural accuracy and reducing patient discomfort.
