•The product consists of a one-hand operated vacuum pump that can be placed on an insect bite in such a way that the poison can be drawn out through the wound. •Sometimes the very sting of the insect breaks off and remains in the wound. Therefore, the handle is constructed in such a way that it is possible to remove this sting by scraping it off with one end of the handle. •When stung on smaller areas (i.e., children's fingers) the mouthpiece can be turned for better use. •The way of reducing the discomfort after insects' bites or stings by means of vacuum has been known from folk medicine from ancient times. •For instance, an effective cure in the case of vipers' bites was to stop the blood circulation and then cut a small hole in the bite with a knife and suck out the poison. •With the Poison Extractor this is so simple that even a child can suck out the poison without difficulties. •When the development of the product began, the objective was to find a method that reduced the discomfort of a bite/sting in most patients to a minimum. •It was a precondition that the sucking out the poison must not involve any side effects, and that it could be carried out without the assistance of trained personnel.
