Product Description
The Protick Remedy was developed in 1990 as an easy traveling tick remover that would be available at any time or place. It needed to be user-friendly and intuitive. The reason for this was simple - the correct tweezer for tick removal is sharp, pointed, and potentially dangerous and is not easy to position. Grasping a tick "as close to the skin as possible" was the challenge. If you grasp too low the skin is pinched and grabbed too high the tick was crushed spilling the potentially diseased contents onto the victim. To get it just right we designed the Protick Remedy to slide under the tick and to grasp the ticks entry point. This is the strongest part of the tick. That's why the Protick Remedy was designed the way it is.
After extensive testing with veterinarians, it was determined that the product performed as designed. It was in 1995 that the Protick Remedy was awarded the United States patent number 5,447,511. It was the first tick removal tool to utilize the precision slot and remains the only precision slotted tool made of steel.
KEEPING IT LOCAL - MADE IN THE USA - ASSEMBLED BY THE ARC
- During the veterinary testing, two comments exemplify the benefits of the Protick Remedy. “This is form-fitting function at its finest”, Dr. Ian Weatherly DVM.
- The second “what I really like about is tool is that it will give people the confidence to go about their outdoor activities, this is so well designed, so much easier to use than a tweezer”, Dr. Rob Scott, DVM.

Compact and easy to use designThe Protick Remedy was designed as an easy to use substitute for the precision tweezers used for tick removal. Unlike tweezers, it's easy and safe to carry. Super simple to position under the tick and proven in the field and in the laboratory to be a very effective tick removal tool. Even professionals that are trained to use forceps like to have a Protick Remedy available for those unforeseen tick emergencies. |
Only a product mad of steel can be this thinThe Protick Remedy design required it to be as thin as the tips of a #4 precision tweezer. With this objective we knew it couldn't be made of aluminum or plastic, it had to be steel. It's only 11/1000 thick while being tough and durable. So why is the ProTick Remedy still the only precision steel slotted tool available? Our patent ran out, its slot design has been copied many times, so why? Because it's a multistep process that's complicated and expensive to manufacture. |
Loads of information on ticks and how to deal with themThe tick may have more folklore and incorrect information floating around than any other creature. They're nasty, they suck blood and carry diseases. There's not much to like. But to just hand you a great tick remover and nothing more just didn't seem right. So we put together a summary of the key points that you need to know about ticks. We took all the pictures, (we know ticks) and summarized how to ID and deal with ticks. We even include a 5X magnifier |

Also, these devices are not 100 percent effective, I think I read they are rated at around 70-75 percent? This is still a whole lot better then what they rate tweezers or another method, basically nothing is 100 percent in tick removal.
As for use, I tend to slide it in at a slight angle from the back of the tick at first, ensuring the back bulk of the tick is in the point of the V resting on it. I straighten it up as I slide it under so the whole body aligns with the device and slow over a few attempts pry it off. The method may vary I guess depending on the size? The ones we have dealt with have been fairly large.
I had a small plastic case I put it in with the paper work. It might fit a large pill bottle for storage.
Also added a small cheap $1.00 squeeze bottle with cap filled with alcohol to use over the bite, to,clean the tool after washing, to sterilize the hands as you want to make sure not to have touch or transfer any substance from a removed tick.
Anyone complaining about it not working well either needs to read the directions again and practice, or realize that sometimes the best solution still takes work.
Postscript 1/2017: As I suspected, this is useless for deeply embedded tick "nymphs." You need to be able to get the tick's head firmly into the slot of this puller, for it to work. If your pet's skin is inflamed enough that the tick appears to have tunneled in there, you need another method of extraction. Still, this is indeed very useful for recently attached ticks of any size. Just be careful not to twist when you pull. Pull straight upwards, in one smooth motion.
