ABSTRACT

A filter tool and method of removing a filter includes a socket head and a
plurality of teeth. The socket head has a proximal end portion, a distal end
portion, and an outer wall at least partially surrounding a longitudinal axis
and defining a hollow configured to receive at least a portion of a housing of
the filter. The plurality of teeth are configured to grip the housing of the
filter and further define the hollow. The plurality of teeth are angularly
positioned about the longitudinal axis and extend radially inward from the
outer wall toward the longitudinal axis and further extend longitudinally
toward the proximal end portion. The hollow thus narrows toward the proximal
end portion for rotatably gripping the housing of the filter received therein
and removing the filter from a filter mount.
