The right Podiatry Drill for professional treatment

A powerful Podiatry Drill is essential for professional medical podiatry and nail design. Whether in mobile use or in stationary podiatry, pedicure and manicure, electric Podiatry Drills are part of the basic equipment. They enable contouring of shape-changed nails along with callus removal, smoothing and the processing of treatment. Depending on the drill, a distinction is made between dry technique, wet technique and podiatry drills without suction. The benefits offered by a Podiatry Drill depend on the respective area of application, the required removal rate and the reusability.

What is the function of a Podiatry Drill?

Podiatry Drills are used for professional foot care, treatment, pedicure and manicure. Important functions and areas of application are:

• Contouring of deformed or thickened nails

• Treatment of corns or calluses

• Cleaning the nail fold

• Smoothing rough, horny surfaces (e.g. rhagades)

• Removal of old cuticles or nail polish residues

• Milling off and removing modelling material

• Aesthetic smoothing of uneven nail surfaces

Professional Podiatry Drills: These types are available

Podiatry Drills can be divided into three categories depending on the technique used:

Dry technique

The dry technique, also called suction technique, is one of the most popular methods. Here, a suction unit integrated into the Podiatry Drill is used. This offers the benefit that any dust released from the handpiece is immediately sucked up and stored in the dust bag. Treatment areas thus stay clean during podiatry, the viewing area is unimpaired and the hygiene of the treatment rooms is at the highest level. Dry technique units with suction usually offer high speeds and a highly quiet removal rate.

Wet-technology units

The third alternative comprises Podiatry Drills that use neither dry/wet technique nor suction. These can be compressed air-driven treatment units that use compressed air via an air supply hose instead of micromotors. These Podiatry Drills are extremely maintenance-free and thus highly economical in performance.

Podiatry Drill without suction

The third alternative includes Podiatry Drills that use neither dry/wet technique nor suction. These can be compressed air-driven treatment units that use compressed air via an air supply hose instead of micromotors. These Podiatry Drills are extremely maintenance-free and therefore highly economical in performance.

What else should be considered when choosing Podiatry Drills?

An important factor for professional podiatry treatment are the attachments for nail cutters. The following materials can be used for these:

• Carbide and titanium grinders

• Diamond burs
  

• Precious corundum and stone

• Grinding caps made of stone/sand paper

• Ceramic burs
  

• Hybrid cutters made of diamond and ceramic

Modern attachments are in most cases provided with reusability and cost-saving, sustainable use. It should also be possible to reprocess attachments hygienically without any problems. Particular attention should be paid to the performance of the Podiatry Drill. A slightly higher rotational speed allows for a better removal rate during contouring and treatment. Podiatry Drills should also offer configurable functions.

Proper cleaning and disinfection of Podiatry Drills

Hygiene is the be-all and end-all: After each application of air-powered or electric Podiatry Drills, the surface of the drill along with the treatment area must be subjected to wipe disinfection. The burs and grinders used for treatment should be disinfectable and/or sterilisable, depending on the application and legal requirements for hygienic reprocessing.
