✅ Hungarian patent
✅ Medical-grade resin technology
✅ Removes the tick intact in one piece
✅ The cartridge safely stores the tick for further medical testing
USB-Ctick is a patented Hungarian invention that sets a new standard in tick removal. USB-Ctick is not an ultrasonic repellent and not a data storage device (USB flash drive). It is a home-use device that removes parasites using UV-activated polymerization technology.
💧 After placing the isolation tube, the resin in liquid form gently surrounds the tick without causing irritation.
🔵 Using blue light, the resin solidifies around the tick within seconds.
🔒 A form-fit lock is created, allowing the tick to be removed intact, without injury or compression.
🛡️ Minimizes the risk of infection and skin injury.
👩⚕️ Uses medical-grade, skin-friendly resin. USB-Ctick
🛡️ Safe: no tick compression or tearing.
🧼 Hygienic: a new cartridge is used for every removal.
⏱️ Fast: removal takes about 1 minute on average.
♻️ Simple: no twisting or tweezers required.
💡 Innovative: based on a Hungarian patent (Registration No. 231,519).
(includes 1 USB-C powered lamp and 3 cartridges)
First batch available in limited quantities
Ticks are not just unpleasant parasites. A single bite can transmit serious diseases, including Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). The risk of infection increases significantly if the tick is not removed promptly or properly. With traditional tweezer-based methods, the tick’s mouthparts may break off or its body may be compressed, allowing infectious fluids to enter the skin.
Insert the single-use cartridge into the device.
Turn on the device, then place it directly around the tick.
Press the plunger; the resin hardens within 10–12 seconds.
Lift the hardened resin together with the tick.
Remove the used cartridge and, if necessary, have the enclosed tick examined.

What is USB-Ctick? Is it a USB flash drive?
No, although the name intentionally resembles one. USB-Ctick is a Hungarian-developed tick removal device designed for home use. The name combines the modern USB-C charging connector and the word “tick.” Its pronunciation intentionally resembles the well-known “USB stick,” making it easy to remember and ask for at pharmacies. However, it does not store data. Instead, it uses UV-curable polymer technology to safely remove ticks.
How is it better than traditional tweezers or tick removal hooks?
The biggest risk with tweezers is accidentally compressing the tick’s abdomen, which can force infected stomach contents into the human bloodstream. USB-Ctick does not touch or compress the tick’s body. The liquid resin surrounds the tick, hardens, and lifts the parasite out while securely enclosing it, minimizing the risk of infectious material entering the skin.
How does it work in practice? (The “tube” technique)
The device is not attached directly to the skin. A special isolation tube is placed around the tick (also moving hair aside), and the liquid resin is dispensed into the tube. The device’s UV light cures the material, allowing the tick to be removed intact, including its head.
Is it painful to use?
No. The process is completely painless. The resin does not pull the skin, and since no tweezers are used, there is no pinching sensation. It can be safely used on children and is not frightening for them.
How long does it take?
The entire process (preparation, UV curing, and removal) takes approximately 1–2 minutes. This may be slightly slower than pulling with tweezers, but it provides a safer solution to help prevent Lyme disease and other infections.
Does it work on very small ticks (nymphs)?
Yes. Because the resin is applied in liquid form, it fills even the smallest gaps. This allows it to securely capture very small ticks that are almost impossible to grasp with tweezers.

USB-Ctick is a safe tick removal device, but a tick may transmit infection before removal. If you suspect a serious infection or experience symptoms, always consult a medical professional.
