Patent ID: 7090196

Claim:
A method of removing a stun gun dart from the body of a human suspect, while avoiding becoming contaminated by a dart puncture wound, comprising: (a) providing a dart removal facilitating tool, including: (i) a handle, adapted to be grasped by a human hand; and (ii) a dart removal head, attached to said handle and having a pair of ears for placement about said dart, each said ear having a surface area of greater than a square centimeter so that it can be pressed against human flesh without creating further injury; (b) pressing said dart removal head against a portion of said human body near said dart, thereby constraining potential movement on part of said human suspect; and (c) engaging said dart for removal from said human body while said dart removal head is being pressed against said portion of said human body, thereby constraining movement of said human suspect and avoiding being thrown off balance by sudden movement and puncturing oneself with said stun gun dart as a result.
