  • Lice comb
    Patent number: 8104485
    Abstract: A lice comb (10) comprising a plurality of parallel teeth (12) having upper surfaces (16) and lower surfaces (18). Each pair of adjacent teeth (12) includes a first set of projections (22) on a side surface (24) of one tooth and a second set of projections (26) on a side surface (28) of the adjacent tooth.
