splinter removal
Picking out slivers
The act of extracting a splinter—a small, sharp fragment of wood, glass, or metal—from the skin.
Typically involves tweezers, a needle, or both: The splinter removal took longer than expected because it was embedded deep.
A minor but satisfying medical procedure, often performed at home.
