NITVIEW® LEDCOMB Effective, patented technology for the
detection and removal of both lice and nits. Nitview® Ledcomb is an internationally patented medical device hat incorporates an ultraviolet light and detachable comb with microchannelled teeth for the effective removal of both lice and nits.
The lice, their eggs and nits (empty egg cases) glow under the UV light making them very easy to find amongst the hairs and then remove with the comb.
UV light is absorbed by the chitin, a major constituent of the “shell” of lice and nits.
Chitin emits fluorescence during exposure to UV which makes the insects glow.
• Is safe for use on both wet and dry hair • Does not rely on insecticide chemicals • Will not cause resistance to treatment • Will not cause allergy or irritation
RRP: 24.99
