Computer Zaps Bugs: Meet the LouseBuster

The LouseBuster safely and quickly kills head lice and their eggs. The power to zap these pesky bugs comes from its onboard microprocessor looped with a heated air source and sensors in the hand held, patient treatment unit. The microprocessor controlled system for treatment of children”s head lice provides heated air for the unit at an effective and safe 59 degrees Celsius. This medical breakthrough device was developed and tested by Professor Dale Clayton and several other researchers at the University of Utah.

The LouseBuster utilizes three key factors to rid a child of head lice; controlled low heat, a special hair lifting comb, and air, lots of dry air. . The cylindrical hand piece rakes the hair and lifts it in relation to the blowing air so that the dry air is blown directly at the roots of the hair where head lice tend to thrive. The head lice and their eggs dry out and die.
