The invention relates to a pair of tweezers (12) with a protective sheathing (11) serving as a packaging; the pair of tweezers has two legs (121, 123) resiliently connected with each other and having ends (122, 124) spaced apart when the pair of tweezers is not in use and which come into contact with each other under the impact of a closing pressure; the protective sheathing (11) consists essentially of a tubular body made of a flexible polymer material, at least partially enclosing said pair of tweezers (12) and having a slit (111, 112) extending in a longitudinal direction and being spread by a pair of tweezers (12) pushed into the protective sheathing (11); the pair of tweezers and the tubular body are dimensioned such that the pair of tweezers is held laterally in the protective sheathing and can be removed from the protective sheathing only by manually further spreading the slit.
A pair of tweezers (12) with a protective sheathing (11) serving as a packaging, wherein said pair of tweezers has two legs (121, 123) resiliently connected with each other and having ends (122, 124) which are spaced apart when said pair of tweezers is not in use and which come into contact with each other under the impact of a closing pressure, characterised in that said protective sheathing (11) consists essentially of a tubular body made of a flexible polymer material at least partially enclosing said pair of tweezers (12) and having a slit (111, 112) extending in a longitudinal direction and being spread by a pair of tweezers (12) pushed into said protective sheathing (11), and wherein said pair of tweezers and said tubular body are dimensioned such that said pair of tweezers is held laterally in said protective sheathing and can be removed from said protective sheathing only by manually spreading further said slit.
(new) A kit comprising a pair of tweezers and a protective sheathing serving as a packaging for said pair of tweezers, wherein said pair of tweezers has two legs resiliently connected with each other and having ends which are spaced apart when said pair of tweezers is not in use, and which come into contact with each other under impact of a closing pressure, wherein said protective sheathing consists essentially of a tubular body made of a flexible polymer material, said tubular body at least partially enclosing said pair of tweezers and having a slit extending in a longitudinal direction and being spread by said pair of tweezers when pushed into said protective sheathing, and wherein said pair of tweezers and said tubular body are dimensioned such that said pair of tweezers is held in said protective sheathing but can be removed from said protective sheathing when said slit is spread further.
