ABSTRACT:
A skin clip remover for removing skin clips or staples which have been placed into the skin across a wound to close and retain the wound in a closed and healing position comprises a handle element and a trigger element joined together at a pivot point to form a hand operated tool capable of gripping and deforming the crown of a skin clip when the proximal ends of the two elements are forced toward each other to bring together into such gripping and deforming attitude the opposing faces of the distal ends of such two elements which are in the form of a pair of parallel anvil feet at an obtuse angle on the distal end of the handle element and a hawk bill projection at an obtuse angle on the distal end of the trigger element, such obtuse angles opposing each other to form a diamond shaped pocket to entrap the crown of a skin clip for deformation and removal.
