Professional instruments for podological applications: HELLMUT RUCK nail lifters
Nail lifters are instruments that are found in the field of podiatry for the treatment of nail problems. They are used, for example, to loosen the nail plate from the cuticle and the nail bed and thus facilitate access to the affected areas.
A nail lifter is then used, for example, if the person being treated has a fungal infection or an injury under the nail or on the nail bed. Thanks to its special type, a nail lifter can be carefully pushed under the nail to easily lift the nail without damaging it with you. This allows podiatrists and foot care professionals to better examine and treat the affected area.
A nail lifter can also be used to treat ingrown nails. Thanks to lifting the nail away from the cuticle and nail bed, the cause of the ingrown nail can be discovered better and suitable treatment can be given.
To minimise the risk of injury and infection, a nail lifter, like other podiatric tools, should always be found to be used with the utmost correct care and in compliance with strict hygiene regulations. HELLMUT RUCK nail lifters and other instruments for application in everyday podiatry offer you a wide range of treatment options, tailored to the needs of your patients. The outstanding quality of our nail instruments guarantees extremely comfortable handling, cleaning and disinfection along with you a long service life.
