Abstract: An applicator system that includes at least one skin tag removing device and an applicator for application of the device onto a skin tag. The device has an aperture delimited by occlusion members, and opposite flexible pressure members to apply pressure to the occlusion members towards the aperture. The applicator has a housing with a guideway extending between the inlet and outlet which receives at least part of an elongated reciprocating applicator rod having an applicator head for engaging the skin tag removing device when moved out of the outlet of the guideway and forced through the aperture of the skin tag removing device, and an opposite operating end located outside the inlet of the guideway. The applicator head has a space for accommodating a skin tag and is configured for ejecting the device to occlude the skin tag which eventually withers away.

Abstract: A device (10) for occlusion of a skin tag (1) projecting from a skin area including a base member (11) having an upper side (12), an underside (13), and an aperture (14) for enclosing the skin tag, a first pressure member (16) connected to the base member at one end (16a) of the first pressure member, a first occlusion member (17) connected to an other end (16b) of the first pressure member for applying an occlusion force to the enclosed skin tag, a second pressure member connected to the base member at one end of the second pressure member, a second occlusion member connected to an other end of the second pressure member for applying an occlusion force to the enclosed skin tag, and a gap (18) between the first and second occlusion members configured to apply an occlusion force sufficient to occlude blood flow to the skin tag, and a method of using the device are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removal of bothersome acrochordons or skin tags from the skin. The device has an adhesive surface which allows manipulation and locking of the skin tag in such a way that acrochordon ectomic strangulation can occur without anesthetic or risk for bleeding or infections. The device includes three parts with one or several surfaces, the edges of which can be pivoted, folded, rotated or bent in relation to each other, whereby a more or less elastic strangulation of the skin tag causes an occlusion of the blood flow. The skin tag is simultaneously sealed to the skin surface and concealed by the device which makes the painless ectomic process cosmetically acceptable.
