AeroInstrument Stainless Steel First Aid Tweezers 7.5cm
Splinters, thorns and grit are among the most common reasons a first aid kit is opened, and the tweezers are what gets used. These compact stainless steel tweezers have a flat spade tip that grips a splinter close to the skin so it can be drawn out cleanly. At 7.5cm they fit the tweezer loop of a first aid kit and are easy to control between finger and thumb.
Stainless steel means the tweezers can be washed, wiped with an alcohol swab and used again, so one pair lasts the life of the kit.
Sold singly as a kit refill or replacement, with quantity pricing for workplaces and kit assemblers.
