ABSTRACT:
A first aid instrument for removing slivers from the skin, and foreign material from an eye. The instrument, which furnishes light to a work area, has a variety of interchangeable tools that can be used with the instrument. The instrument has a hollow handle that accommodates a power source for light, a bulb, and a transparent nose. The nose transmits light from the bulb to the tip of the instrument so as to focus light on an area where a tool is being used. The transparent nose also holds the tool in a passageway extending through the nose by virtue of an embedded magnet in the passageway. The tools that fit in the nose include a magnet, a loop, a sharpened pointed tool, and other sharpened cutting tools. The instrument also has a clip-on magnifier which has an adjustable arm so that the clip-on magnifier can be placed in an advantageous position for viewing a workpiece.
