What benefit do replacement springs offer for cuticle nippers, top cutters, nail and corner nippers?

Generally, cuticle nippers, top cutters, nail and corner nippers are made of high-quality stainless steel and therefore have an extremely long service life and reliable function. Nevertheless, in the case of spring-loaded cuticle nippers, the springs can wear out. Fatigue in turn leads to a reduction in cutting force and precision. Thanks to replacement springs made of stainless steel, you do not have to fully replace your high-quality cuticle nippers, but only replace the spring or springs in question. If the sharpness of the cutting edges deteriorates, then you can have them professionally sharpened.

How can stainless steel springs in pliers and scissors be replacing?

Replacing single or double springs is in most cases a matter of a few simple steps. Alternatively, you can also make use of the RUCK instrument service. This is a reconditioning service which includes the necessary repairs along with professional sharpening and, if required, a new pair of springs.

What types of stainless steel springs are there?

Depending on the pliers or scissors and the design, different spring systems can be found integrated. These ensure that cutting operations are carried out with optimum pressure and that the blades automatically spring back to their original state.

You will find the following types of springs in common pliers and scissors:

• Single or double springs
• Buffer springs
• Rotating or folding springs

Why is replacing worthwhile?

Cuticle nippers, top cutters, nail and corner nippers are high-quality instruments that are used in the fields of podiatry, foot care and manicure. Due to high material quality and highly good workmanship, nippers and scissors for medical or beauty purposes deliver excellent results for years. Then you do not have to replace the instrument because of a spring that loses its tension or a defective spring. Yet replacing the spring - without any effort - ensures that the cuticle nippers continue to deliver optimum performance.

When should a spring be replaced?

Cuticle nippers, top cutters, nail nippers and corner nippers are provided with sharp cutting edges thanks to their highly precise application. If you notice that the transmission of the pressure force decreases and more force is required for the application, then it is most likely a spring without adequate tension. A decrease in cutting force and cutting precision can also indicate a worn out or defective spring. If you would like to continue to enjoy the benefit of optimum cutting action with little effort, then it is advisable to replace the spring.

How can cuticle nippers, top cutters, nail and corner nippers be properly cared for?

Part of the correct application of cuticle nippers is particularly correct skin and hand hygiene, as well as regular disinfection and sterilisation before and after use. If discolouration and stains appear on the stainless steel over time, then our RUCK instrument erasers are offered for cleaning the instrument surfaces and gaps. Other possible ways to receive the function and service life of forceps and scissors are our RUCK instrument care oils for the protection, lubrication and care of high-quality instruments.
