How to Use Splinter Forceps for Minor Removal

First and foremost, clean the wound area thoroughly. Disinfect the tips of your forceps with an antiseptic solution or alcohol. Align the forceps with the splinter, grasp the protruding end, and pull gently following the angle of entry. For deeper splinters, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. After extraction, protect the area with an adhesive bandage.
