Tick remover for nymphs

As useful as conventional tick tweezers are for removing adult ticks, Nymphia is the one to recommend for tiny nymphs. In fact, bites from nymphs are quite common in people. These immature ticks are so small that they cannot be removed safely with such tick tweezers in line with the recommendations of the RKI. In this case, the Nymphia tick remover is the only tool we know of that can remove nymphs in line with the RKI's recommendations (don't twist, don't squeeze, remove completely at the first attempt). We also consider tick removal cards less safe than Nymphia for these small ticks.

Clinically tested at the University of Neuchâtel and recommended by numerous independent professional associations.

Nymphs also transmit TBE viruses and Borrelia. That's why the same urgent recommendation applies to nymphs: remove the ticks as quickly as possible, because transmission of the pathogens is very unlikely in the first few hours. You can find more information under tick remedies.

The Nymphia tick remover is a precision instrument

The Nymphia® tick remover has an extremely fine, flexible yet robust wire loop with a precise diameter of just 60 μ. At this size, the loop fits perfectly around the nymph's neck. In one "go", the tiny tick is gripped, pulled and completely removed.

How to use the tick remover for nymphs

• Place the loop with the open area over the nymph and press lightly onto the skin.
• Pull slowly. The loop closes around the nymph. Keep pulling slowly until the nymph comes out.
• Disinfect the bite site.

Reusing the tick remover for nymphs

In principle, the Nymphia® tick remover can be reused, provided the nymph has been completely removed from the loop and the Nymphia® tick remover has been disinfected. If this cannot be done reliably, there is a risk that pathogens from the nymph remain on the loop and cause an infection at the bite site the next time it is used. In such cases, the Nymphia® tick remover should be replaced with a new one.

Scope of delivery

A Nymphia® tick remover comes on a handy card so it can be carried in any standard wallet, bag etc.
