Nitview® Ledcomb - the revolution against lice and nits. How Nitview® works Nitview® Ledcomb is an internationally patented medical device that incorporates an ultraviolet light (400-405nm, light range naturally visible to the human eye) and detachable comb with micro-channelled teeth for the effective removal of both lice and nits. The lice, their eggs and nits (the empty egg cases) glow under the UV light making them very easy to find amongst the hairs and then remove with the comb. UV light is absorbed by chitin, a major constituent of the 'shell' of lice and nits. Chitin emits fluorescence during exposure to UV which makes the insects glow. The comb section can be easily removed to enable the UV light to confirm that all lice and eggs have been removed and help to avoid the recurrence of the infestation. The light can be used to check clothing, towels, bed linen etc. "As any parent knows, keeping your child's hair free from headlice infestation is a difficult and time-consuming job. The best way to do it is regular use of a fine-toothed detection comb with the removal of lice and eggs when you find them. But if you miss just one louse or egg, all your hard work could be undone. Nitview removes the guesswork from wet-combing and virtually guarantees success by making it very easy to see the tiny insects and their eggs. Nitview does not rely on any chemicals to kill the lice, making it safe for even the most sensitive skin. It can be used again and again, saving you money as well as time. Nitview could be the only headlice product you ever need again - it is my number one recommendation for parents seeking an answer to the headlice problem." Michael Stewart MRPharmS, Community Pharmacist, Nottingham, UK The technology behind Nitview Chitin is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose, and is found in many places throughout the natural world. It is a characteristic component of the cell walls of fungi
