Surgical Pearl: Disposable Syringe as Modified Customized Comedone Extractor

Muhammed Mukhtar et al. J Cutan Aesthet Surg. 2022 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

The conventional comedone extractors available are not able to evacuate contents properly, because of their vertical pressure. So, the comedone extractor which can exert pressure simultaneously in vertical and oblique direction for complete evacuation is the need of the hour.

Keywords: Comedone; customized; disposable syringe; dragged; extraction punching.
