Question
I am trying to find nail clippers or something in that direction to remove skin tags. A new, sterile large nail clipper seems to be the item of choice but I was hoping to find something that would more easily cut exactly flush or slightly below the surface. Obviously a very sharp implement with sufficient leverage for single step removal would be preferred.Thanks

Answer

For this procedure, it seems that the scissors of choice would be Iris Scissors which come in curved or straight models.

It is also recommended that you hold the skin tag while cutting with a pair of forceps.

I would like to know if this product is safe for cleaning respiratory equipment like nebulizer masks, inhalers ect.

Dear Marie,

Question
I'm interested in buying the Men's Staff Length Lab Coats, 34-48 but im not sure what the numbers mean... are they for the length around my chest or shoulders?

Answer

The sizing is based on measurement at the fullest part of the body being either waist, chest or hips.  If the fullest of these measures 42", for example, this will be the size you need to order.
