Saalfeld Comedo Extractor w/Needle 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for dermatology and aesthetic practice, this instrument is used to apply controlled, focal pressure to express comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), milia, and other superficial epidermal contents. The integrated needle facilitates precise puncture or unroofing of intact pustules or closed comedones prior to extraction, reducing the need for larger incisions and helping to limit surrounding tissue trauma. Typical settings include office-based procedures, minor procedure rooms, and skin-care clinics where atraumatic, precise extractions are required.

Design & Configuration

The 14 cm working length provides reach and tactile control during one-handed or two-handed techniques. The circular extraction loop distributes compressive force around a lesion to enable complete expression of contents while minimizing focal skin tearing. The integrated sharp needle allows controlled entry or unroofing of intact lesions immediately adjacent to the loop, enabling sequential puncture and extraction without swapping instruments. This combination supports efficient procedures and helps maintain sterility by limiting instrument changes.
