TRY USING TWEEZERS

If part of the splinter protrudes above the skin surface, try to remove it with tweezers. Use tweezers with a knurled inner edge. Grasp the tip of the splinter firmly and slowly pull it out of your skin.

1) Sterilize tweezers before using. Wipe the tweezers with rubbing alcohol or vinegar, boil the tweezers in water for a few minutes, or hold the tweezers over a flame for about a minute.

2) Wash your hands before trying to remove the splinter.
