Abstract: A splinter removal tool for removing splinters imbedded in the skin. The splinter removal tool includes a panel. The panel is elongate and has generally planar top side and a generally planar bottom side. The panel has a first end edge, a second end edge, a first side edge and a second side edge. The first end edge tapers to a point. The panel is generally divided into a first half and a second half such that the first half abuts the first end. The first half is twisted such that the first side edge and the second side edge simultaneously define a helix extending around a longitudinal axis of the panel. The panel comprises a substantially rigid material.
