Frequently asked questions
Is the stainless steel durable enough for repeated sterilization?
Yes, this instrument is constructed from high-quality stainless steel specifically designed to be reusable. It is built to withstand repeated sterilization protocols, ensuring it remains a reliable tool in your clinical or professional practice.
Can this tool handle both open and closed comedones?
Absolutely. The Zimmerman-Walton Expressor features dual functionality:
- The cupped, fenestrated end is optimized for the manual expression of open comedones.
- The tapered end is engineered to securely hold a 30-gauge needle, allowing for the precise lancing of closed comedones before extraction.
Does the handle design provide a secure grip?
Yes, the instrument features an octagon-style handle. This geometry is specifically designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip and to prevent the tool from rolling on flat surfaces during delicate procedures.
Is this product safe for users with latex allergies?
Yes. The Sklar Zimmerman-Walton Expressor is explicitly stated as not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for practitioners and patients with latex sensitivities.
What is the total length of the instrument?

Is this instrument professional-grade quality?
Yes, this is a professional-grade dermal instrument manufactured by Sklar. It is designed for clinical or aesthetic procedures where precision and reliability are required.
Does the instrument meet strict procurement standards?
Yes, it is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for facilities that require adherence to these specific procurement standards.
Are specific needle types required for the tapered end?
The tapered end is designed to accommodate and securely hold a 30-gauge needle. Please ensure you have this standard gauge available for lancing procedures.
Is the tip design effective for controlled pressure?
Yes, the tip features a fenestrated cup design. This specific configuration is engineered to apply controlled, targeted pressure during the expression of comedones, helping to maximize effectiveness while minimizing tissue trauma.
Does it arrive sterile or non-sterile?
This instrument is shipped non-sterile. As a reusable surgical-grade tool, it is intended to be processed through your facility’s established sterilization protocols before its first use.
