As in all professions, it is impossible to do good work without using appropriate and quality tools. Podialux, a company specializing in the online sale of equipment for podiatrists and pedicurists, explains how to choose your nail clippers as a professional foot care provider in Belgium and particularly which one to use to treat an ingrown toenail.
What is the purpose of medical grade nail clippers?
A professional pedicure clipper is a highly precise tool that allows for a clean cut of the nails, even when they are very thick. It is particularly useful for treating ingrown toenails.
There are several models available in different sizes, each with its own characteristics that allow it to adapt to all situations. As a professional pedicurist/podiatrist, it is ideal to have a wide range of nail clippers as well as different instruments.
How to choose nail clippers as a podiatrist?
The choice of professional-grade nail clippers is based on three major criteria:
The size of the nail clipper
While one might think that this characteristic has little importance in its final choice, it is actually not the case. It is important to know that:
- A small clipper is ideal for taking care of the feet of young children;
- A large nail clipper is suitable for professionals and people with large hands;
- A standard-size nail clipper is suitable for most situations encountered in pedicure/podiatry, regardless of the patient.
The shape of the jaws
The jaw is the part located at the tip of the nail clipper. There are different shapes that can adapt to any nail, regardless of its problem:
- Concave jaws;
- Tapered jaws;
- Oblique jaws;
- Flat jaws;
Technical characteristics of the nail clipper
A good quality nail clipper meets the following conditions:
- It is made of stainless steel;
- It is equipped with one or more more or less flexible springs for easier use. Clippers for thick nails are for example equipped with several hard elements for a larger cut.
