Why include tweezers in your first aid kit?
Tweezers might be small, but they’re an essential tool for every first aid kit. They help you safely and precisely remove tiny objects like splinters, ticks, or debris from the skin—tasks that fingers just can’t do as well.

How are they used?
Carefully grip the object with the tweezers and gently pull it out in the direction it entered. Always clean the tweezers before and after use to reduce the risk of infection.
