Callus files for home use
Calluses and cracked skin are a daily occurrence in chiropody and podiatry practices. Whilst callus shavers and scalpels are best left to professionals for treating hyperkeratosis, calluses and corns, callus files and pumice stones are optimum for home use. Find out more now and discover our high-quality tools for regular podiatry in your home spa!
Gentle removal of calluses with pumice stones and different natural products
Podiatry is followed by attentive aftercare at home: lasting improvement can only be achieved if treatment plans and tailored daily care go hand in hand. Besides the gently formulated peclavus PODOcare foot baths and creams, which keep the skin soft and silky, the right tools also play a crucial role.
The safety of your patients should always be the top priority. With callus files, pumice stones and foot care sponges from HELLMUT RUCK, you can rely on the best quality directly from the market leader. This reduces the risk of injury to a minimum. Particular care and caution must be taken during daily podiatry, especially for diabetic feet, as even the smallest skin cracks can become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
Everything for nourished feet: An overview of the RUCK product range
Whether you prefer to use slim foot files with a convenient handle for callus removal or compact stones with a coarse-pored structure for refreshing exfoliation is entirely up to you. Thanks to their handy design, both options are highly recommended:
Pumice stones are among the classics of skin care. Thanks to their long-lasting quality, this natural product – used since ancient times – is ideal for daily use. To remove dead skin cells, simply rub the stone in circular motions over the dampened area of skin. You can then rinse the pumice stone under running water.
Double-sided foot files with a coarse-textured side for removing calluses and a finer side for subsequently smoothing the skin are also popular tools for podiatry. Thanks to their different filing surfaces, these multifunctional tools are optimum for a gentle pedicure that follows a logical sequence of steps. To clean the file, simply rinse it under running water.
Perfectly recommended: customisable equipment from RUCK
Besides pumice stones and callus files, lava stones and callus sponges are also used to maintain silky-soft feet. Are you looking for promotional items especially for your practice? Discover our handy foot files in various colours, which you can personalise to suit your individual requirements.
Equally popular: shoehorns of perfectly good quality are popular take-home items. By placing stylish product displays in the reception area or in an attractively lit glass display cabinet, you can inspire your patients to take good care of their feet at home too, during podiatry.
Why it is important to remove calluses
For many people, calluses are not just a cosmetic flaw – these hardened patches of skin can also cause physical discomfort. At the very latest if they start to rub inside shoes, what was a beauty issue quickly becomes a medical one. Skin cracks and fissures can become inflamed and have the effect of causing further restrictions on movement.
Yet the shedding of dry skin flakes is initially nothing more than a natural process of cell renewal. If the flakes of skin do not shed quickly enough and then build up into patches or spots of callus, supportive actions are required. Hyperkeratosis tends to occur where the foot is subjected to the greatest pressure – for example, on the heel, the balls of the feet or the outside of the foot. Anatomical deformities or skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis can also be associated with increased flaking and callus formation.
