A tick bite requires quick and extremely careful action to minimise health risks. Many people hesitate to remove a tick manually, for fear of damaging the tick or removing it incompletely. Heltiq Tick Away offers a professional method to fix the tick immediately by means of freezing, allowing removal to take place safely and without direct skin contact.
- Safe fixation: Kills the tick quickly by freezing without you having to touch the parasite.
- Complete set: Includes a tick removal card with a magnifying glass for precise control and removal.
- Double precision: The card features two notches for both large and very small ticks (< 2 mm).
- Hygienic method: Reduces the risk of substance transmission because the tick is immediately disabled.
How it works
Heltiq Tick Away uses cryotherapy, a technique that employs extreme cold. By freezing the tick with Dimethyl ether (DME), the tick's biological activity stops immediately. This prevents the tick from releasing substances into the host during the removal process, which is a crucial step in responsible wound care.

Use & Dosage
Position the opening of the cap 1 cm above the tick. Do not touch the skin or the tick! Hold the spray can as vertically as possible. Press the spray can firmly 4 times to freeze the tick. If the tick is still moving after treatment, repeat the treatment after 10 minutes. Then remove the tick with the included tick removal card by sliding it towards the tick close to the skin. Disinfect the wound and the card with alcohol after use.
