A comb for the treatment of pediculosis, comprising a grip handle and a plurality of teeth intended to catch and drag the nits and lice present in the hair, wherein the teeth have a proximal end retained in said handle and a free distal end, said teeth being differentiated into a first plurality of teeth and a second plurality of teeth, where the teeth of the first plurality alternate with the teeth of the second plurality and the teeth of said first plurality are longer than the teeth of said second plurality so that the distal ends of the teeth of the first plurality are projected beyond the distal ends of the teeth of said second plurality.

A method of damaging a parasite while being a resident in or on a surface of a body of a mammal. The method comprises irradiating the parasite with ultrasound radiation at a frequency of from about 1 MHz to about 2.6 MHz for a period of at last one second.

A lice removing apparatus and method of using it are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a flexible fabric sheet having a pair of pockets defined on a first side of the sheet adjacent opposite ends of the sheet. A second side of the sheet includes a plurality of projections, or other physically coarse material, that strip nits from a person's hair when passed there over. A user inserts his fingers and thumb into the pockets, folds the sheet around a lock of hair, and runs the sheet along the length of the hair while squeezing the folded sheet into constant contact with the hair. Thereafter, the sheet is discarded and a new one is used for cleaning a subsequent lock of hair. The sheets may be stored in a contained in a manner that provides easy access for grasping the sheet and removing it from the container with one hand.

A parasite eradicating device configured for eradicating parasites by producing a high-temperature airflow, directing it in a stream at an infestation area where parasites thrive, and suctioning the airflow away from the infestation area, such that the parasites are killed and their eggs rendered nonviable by the heat of the airflow.

Disclosed is a comb having a lamellar body and including, along a toothed edge, teeth able to penetrate the coat of hair. The comb eliminates injuries caused to the animal by sharp teeth, eliminating fur damage while also improving the treatment of the hair coat and to improve brushing performance by adapting to the hair coat of each animal, in each season. To this end, the teeth of the two sets of teeth A and B, which are positioned one on each side of the mid plane P of the body and the teeth of which sets are intercalated with one another, have anti-injury roundings at the tips and over part of the length of the edge corners leading from these tips and are delimited between a flat external face and a curved extreme internal face, the tooth set B being finer and provided with shorter teeth.

The novel detangling innovations disclosed include a detangling device comprising a handle having an upper portion and a lower portion, and a plurality of arced tines. The plurality of arced tines are connected to the lower portion of the handle along a first periphery extending around the lower portion of the handle. The arced tines arc inwardly with respect to a center of the lower portion of the handle. An arced tine comprises an arced flexible member; a base situated at a proximal end of the arced flexible member, and a tip. The base is connected to the lower portion of the handle. The tip is situated at a distal end of the arced flexible member. The arced flexible member has an elongated arced profile between the base and the tip.
