Straight Pointed Nippers (18 mm Blade) | Podiatric Instrument for Ingrown Nails

Increase the level of precision, biosafety, and ergonomics in your podiatry clinic or professional beauty salon with the Straight Pointed Nippers (18 mm Blade). Specially designed to address hard, thickened nails, and particularly spicules in cases of onychocryptosis or ingrown nails, this instrument provides superior technical control in hard-to-reach areas.

Made of high-density surgical stainless steel, they feature an 18 mm straight blade ending in a calibrated sharp point that allows for clean penetration into the periungual channels without lacerating soft tissue. Its protected double-spring system ensures a smooth, precise, and low-resistance return, reducing hand fatigue for the professional during continuous treatments.

Operational Precision, Clean Cut, and Clinical Biosafety

This specialized cutting instrument stands out for technical characteristics designed for the most demanding work standards:

• 18 mm High-Friction Straight Blade: Precision sharpened edge that executes clean, straight, and continuous cuts on resistant or dystrophic nail plates.
• Sharp Point Geometry (Side/Nose): Ultra-stylized profile designed to access narrow nail grooves and release spicules or embedded edges with maximum precision.
• Protected Double Spring Mechanism: Distributes pressure force evenly, providing an elastic and smooth response that prevents jumps or misalignments in the cut.
• Sterilizable Stainless Steel: Durable medical-grade material, fully suitable for repeated autoclave sterilization cycles and chemical disinfection.
• Ergonomic Handle: Designed to fit the contour of the hand, ensuring a stable grip that prevents involuntary slips.

Product Technical Specifications

Technical Protocol for Use and Maintenance Care:

• Phase 1 - Inspection and Sterilization: Verify the correct condition of the blade and spring. Sterilize in an autoclave following clinical protocols before use.
• Phase 2 - Technical Approach: Carefully insert the fine tip into the periungual channel to position the 18 mm blade exactly over the spicule or nail segment to be trimmed.
• Phase 3 - Execution of the Cut: Apply constant pressure without leveraging or twisting the tool to ensure a clean and neat cut.
• Phase 4 - Sanitization and Lubrication: Clean organic debris, disinfect, and periodically apply a drop of specific lubricating oil for instruments to the joint axis.

💡 Pro Tip: To maintain the identical alignment of the 18 mm sharp tips, avoid using these nippers on very hard synthetic materials or unsuitable acrylics. Always store the instrument with the tip protector in place and with the spring disengaged to avoid mechanically stressing the joint.

Storage and Biosafety Warnings:

• Professional Profile: Tool recommended for use by trained personnel in podiatry or advanced aesthetics.
• Blade Care: Protect the tip from falls or impacts against hard surfaces that could misalign the hinges or dull the blade.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry environment free from residual moisture after sterilization. Keep out of reach of children.

Equip your practice with high-precision cutting tools and guarantee impeccable, safe, and effective nail treatments.
