Those things are a joke. Even if you can get the hook under the suture, the blades don't approximate to cut it. Cuticle scissors OTOH do it lickety split.

Those cost an additional copay. I think I'll find a suitable substitute

They make special scissors to remove stitches. Call your doctor and get a pair. Otherwise, use wire snips

Serious, if you can’t get a suture removal kit, go buy some decent tweezers and some small scissors at the local Walgreens/cvs.

I have 5 on the top of my hand from my trip to Sonic last weekend. I need to cut them out tomorrow. Should I just use a tiny pair like some nose hair scissors or what? Thanks, baws
Lol. American healthcare, ladies and gentlemen.
