Files & Rasps

High-quality files and rasps for professional podological treatments

Files and rasps are among the most frequently used tools in the field of podiatry and foot care professional. They help with you to remove calluses from the skin of the foot and to process the toenails. There are a variety of files and rasps that are used for different tasks and purposes. At HELLMUT RUCK, podiatrists and foot care professionals will find high-quality files and rasps that form the basis for professional treatments.

Foot files and callus rasps are among the most frequently used variants. Like special planes, they are suitable for removing thicker layers of callus and help to smooth the skin of the foot with you. Depending on the grain size, they can be used as a result of processing both heavily callused and sensitive areas of the foot. Nail files and burs can be used for precise processing of nails or calluses on the toes.

Versatile applications for RUCK skin and nail files

Calluses or calloused skin not only affect the appearance of the feet, but can also cause health problems such as pain or reduced mobility. With the help of appropriate files and rasps, podiatrists and foot care professionals can specifically remove excessive calluses and then improve the well-being of their clients.

Whether callus file, foot rasp or nail file: At HELLMUT RUCK we offer you a large selection of professional files and rasps, ideal for different treatment focuses. Depending on the type, size and grain, a wide variety of podiatric problems can be treated as a result.

For example, foot or nail files can be straight or slightly curved in shape. A coarser grain is suitable for treating more horny skin areas, while fine grains have been used for more sensitive areas. Skin files and rasps are used on the skin of the foot, while nail files are used for processing and shaping the toenails.

Hygiene and safety when using podological skin and nail files

To ensure that your podological tools and nail instruments can always be used hygienically and safely, they must be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Among other things, this prevents infections, which increases the safety of those being treated as well as those treating them.

After application, callus files and rasps are first cleaned of coarse dirt and callus particles. Cleaning is followed by disinfection or sterilisation, which kills germs, fungi and bacteria. An immersion bath for instrument disinfection is just as suitable instead as the application of sterilisation.

To be able to guarantee even more safety, many podiatrists and foot care professionals use files and rasps with replaceable file blades. Disposable file blades offer the benefit that they cannot be reused after each application and can then not transfer germs. However, there are also many files and rasps that are conjured up in such a way that they can be safely disinfected or sterilised.

As with all podiatric tools and instruments, it is important that even keratin or nail files and rasps that are sterile do not come into contact with tools that have been or are in use. Proper storage during application as well as storage of podiatric tools in your practice are therefore essential to ensure a safe working environment.
