  • Patent number: 7056324
    Abstract: A wart removal device is disclosed. The device has a handle and first and second pluralities of tines having different heights. One set of tines has a height of approximately 0.04 inch or less, and the other set has a height of approximately 0.08 inch or less. The different sets may be disposed on opposite sides of the handle at the same end of the handle or may be disposed on opposite ends of the handle. In operation, the longer set of tines is raked against wart tissue to create a plurality of incisions in the wart tissue. This treatment is repeated over a time period. After that time period, the shorter set of tines is used. The tines create incisions without causing noticeable bleeding. The device may be used in combination with a medicament and may be provided as a kit, including the device and a medicament.

  • Patent number: 6585742
    Abstract: A wart removal device includes a handle and a pad. The pad has a base and tines with each tine preferably having a height not less than approximately twice its width. The tine height is preferably less than approximately 0.1 inch. The pad has a width that is preferably not greater than approximately ¼ inch and a length that is preferably not less than approximately twice its width. Each tine is sharpened so that opposing sides form a point at an upper edge with the opposing sides forming an angle of from approximately 20° to approximately 40°. In operation, the device is raked against wart tissue to create incisions in the wart tissue. The sharpness and cutting depth of the device are designed to create incisions without causing noticeable bleeding.
