Combing is still the recommended and most effective way of treating infestations. The V-Comb® takes this a step further by using suction power to extract both head lice and eggs into disposable capture filters.
The V-Comb® comes with a capture filter which traps extracted head lice and eggs during and after treatment. Each filter comes with a lid to prevent re-infestations in and around the home.
The Licetec V-Comb is a revolutionary device that incorporates both a combing and vacuum function to effectively eliminate traces of head lice and eggs from all hair types without creating a mess.
Simply attach a new capture filter unto the V-Comb combing head, ensuring that it is securely fastened.
Reattach the combing head unto the main body by aligning the guiding arrows and twist to lock into place.
After treatment is complete, simply detach Capture Filter from the V-Comb and secure the lid to seal off trapped head lice and eggs before discarding.
There’s no more guessing if your head lice treatment has worked because it’s all in the filter!
