An improved device and method for the removal of objects from orifices is provided a pair of tweezers comprising two arms, each arm having a distal end and a proximate end, the arms being connected together at their proximate ends, either or both arms including stop means for limiting a depth of insertion of either or both distal end into an orifice and, a method of removing mucus from a nostril, including the steps of providing a pair of tweezers comprising two arms, each arm having a distal end and a proximate end, the arms being connected together at their proximate ends, either or both arms including stop means for limiting a depth of insertion of either or both distal end into an orifice inserting the distal ends of the arms into a nostril gripping said mucus by the squeezing together of said arms and withdrawing said tweezers from said nostril.
