Device for removing acrochordons

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for removal of bothersome acrochordons or skin tags from the skin. The device has an adhesive surface which allows manipulation and locking of the skin tag in such a way that acrochordon ectomic strangulation can occur without anesthetic or risk for bleeding or infections. The device includes three parts with one or several surfaces, the edges of which can be pivoted, folded, rotated or bent in relation to each other, whereby a more or less elastic strangulation of the skin tag causes an occlusion of the blood flow. The skin tag is simultaneously sealed to the skin surface and concealed by the device which makes the painless ectomic process cosmetically acceptable.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for occlusive removal of a skin tag projecting from a skin area, comprising:
 an adhesion member for fixing the device to the skin area in a skin tag removal position;   a support portion enclosing or contacting an end of the protruding skin tag next to the skin area;   a pressure member associated with the support portion, the pressure member having clamping edges with or without incisions, bead, flaps, or an eccentric clamping mechanism, whereby the pressure member is configured and dimensioned to occlude blood flow to nip the skin tag base on the skin surface, with the pressure member connected to the adhesion member for applying an occlusion pressure on the end of the projecting skin tag next to the skin area, and   a locking member for immobilizing the skin tag in relation to the skin area.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the clamping edges are sufficiently hard to maintain pressure and occlude blood flow over time. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the clamping edges include incisions, bead, flaps, or an eccentric clamping mechanism to assist in applying pressure to the skin tag. 
     
     
         4 . A device for occlusive removal of a skin tag projecting from a skin area, comprising:
 an adhesion member for fixing the device to the skin area in a skin tag removal position;   a support portion configured and dimensioned for enclosing or contacting an end of the protruding skin tag next to the skin area;   a pressure member associated with the support portion and connected to the adhesion member, the pressure member having clamping edges configured and dimensioned to contact each other with sufficient force to provide an occlusion pressure that occludes blood flow to nip the end of the projecting skin tag next to the skin area, and   a locking member for immobilizing the skin tag in relation to the skin area.   
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the clamping edges are sufficiently hard to maintain pressure and occlude blood flow over time. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 5 , wherein the clamping edges include incisions, bead, flaps, or an eccentric clamping mechanism to assist in applying pressure to the skin tag.
