An extractor pump, often referred to as a suction device, is a tool primarily used to remove venom from a snakebite or insect sting. These pumps are designed to create a vacuum over the affected area, theoretically extracting the venom from the wound before it spreads through the bloodstream. While these devices are commonly found in first aid kits, especially in areas prone to snakebites, their efficacy in venom extraction has been a topic of debate within the medical community.
