What types of nail instruments are available?

• Nail folding instruments: This category includes various designs such as double-sided nail folding and nail instruments for a variety of work around the nail, in the nail fold, for inserting tamponades or for removing adhesive material or spreading nail compound. Double-sided spoon instruments are similarly versatile for work in the nail fold. Gouges with their fine, rounded tips are suitable for removing calluses, for treating hard-to-reach areas or for nail fold work. The so-called excavator also enables professional care and treatment of nails and nail folds.

• Nail lifter: With a nail lifter, you benefit from easy, precise handling thanks to lightweight variants with hollow handles and the end bent to the left with a rounded tip. Nail lifters are available both single and double-sided. Fields of application are nail work, especially in the nail fold and tamponage.
• Nail cleaning: When treating wounds on the nail, it is important to clean the nail and wound hygienically and thoroughly. Sterile instruments for nail cleaning such as disposable cannulas, disposable button cannulas, disposable syringes along with cleaning instruments for injury-free and gentle nail cleaning and nail examination are used for this purpose. Also sterile disposable blood lancets for piercing blackheads or styes are included.
• Nail knives: High-quality nail fold knives enable non-irritating, gentle probing in the nail fold.
• Tamponade hooks: Thin fleece strips or cotton wool are used as tamponades for the treatment of ingrown nails or rolled nails. Tamponading instruments and tamponading cotton hooks are used for injury-free insertion of tamponades.
• Corner files: Work on the nail fold also includes filing or exposing protruding corners in the nail fold. Single- or double-sided corner files with narrow or wide ends are contacted for this purpose. You will also find combinations of spoon instruments and corner files in our product range.

How are nail instruments properly nourished?

When doing medical or beauty work on nails, it is important to maintain reliable skin and hand hygiene. Especially when treating wounds, the application of clean, sterile instruments must be observed in this context. For this reason, all our nail instruments can be reliably disinfected and sterilised. The application is ideally carried out together with disposable medical gloves.

For guaranteed hygiene and long-lasting material quality, we also recommend dry, protected storage of the nail instruments along with regular cleaning after each care or wound treatment.
