OK, but how are you supposed to maintain "suction" with the device if you cannot push the down on the plunger while treating someone for snake and insect bites ?


LW.

If it works like a syringe, you pull up on the plunger, then withdraw the device off the skin. Depress the plunger to original position. Reapply device, pull back on plunger. Remove, reset. Repeat.

You don't just leave it on our skin frantically pumping up and down like you're filtering water.
