The scalpel technique enables experienced podiatrists to work more efficiently and faster along with a smoother result compared to planing. The application of the scalpel technique can prevent undesired heat development during treatment. If the heat load on the skin increases too much during the filing of callus, the stimulation of callus formation along with cracked results can be the consequence. Scalpel blades are suitable for use on smooth areas of callus and well presoftened, thick layers of callus. Pre-softening is especially important, as otherwise there is a high risk of injury.
So that the blades do not become blunt prematurely, it is recommended that the working is as cutting as possible. It is important when working as cuttingly as possible that it only happens on the uppermost, dead horny layer so as not to injure the skin. Scalpel blades are also especially suitable for calluses, hyperkeratosis and the targeted treatment of individual rhagades, as they allow precise and almost dust-free treatment. With the sterile scalpel blades from RUCK, made of high-quality carbon steel, you have the optimum tool at hand for your daily working. Convince yourself of their practical sharpness and stability.
Sharp blades pose a risk of injury and therefore require especially correct insertion. As the blades have different locking systems, it is important to pay attention to the correct insertion into the holder. However, it is important to note that the insertion of a scalpel blade varies depending on the holder.
This is how it is done - Our recommendation
For safety reasons, only open the aluminium sheath in which the scalpel blade is sterilely packaged halfway. The unpacked end serves to hold the blade without injury during assembly. The notch on the holder points upwards so that it matches the slope of the blade. In the next step, place the blade a little above the handle attachment and insert it into the slot. Carefully push the blade on until it clicks into place. Then the aluminium sheath can be removed.
>
Keep the area of skin to be processed under exact tension.
>
Support the working hand
>
Angle the blade to the foot depending on the thickness of the callus
>
Aim for smooth and step-free skin
>
Work with little force and from the outer cornification towards the centre
>
Cut from upper hard layer of callus to deeper softer layers
As with inserting a scalpel blade into a holder, there is a high risk of injury when removing it. Convenient companions are available to prevent manual removal of the blade along with the risk of slipping and injury. They are easy to use and can be stored with the other treatment utensils to save space. Examples of these are the blade holder box and the Scalpel-Ex blade remover. For safe disposal of used blades, we recommend the Rigi-Box, a puncture-proof safety container.
A convenient aid for safely removing and yet disposing of scalpel blades is the blade holder box. To do this, insert the blade into the slot and apply light pressure to the protruding end of the box. The blade will release and fall into the container made of stab-proof ABS plastic. When the container reaches total capacity, the used blades can be disposed of together with the box.
Calluses occur on different areas of the foot and have to be filed off individually, from the technique to the right blade. The correct working posture is therefore of crucial importance, especially when it comes to safe handling of scalpels. Here are a few convenient tips that have proven their worth:
>
The thumb and index finger grasp the blade. The little finger is put under the handle, which makes it easier to guide the scalpel.
>
The scalpel is located across the sole of the foot, while the index finger rests steadily on the sole of the foot and is our flexible fulcrum until the callus is completely filed away.
>
The motion contacts the wrist in a circular manner, while the cutting motion is horizontal or vertical.
>
Scalpel blades with a pointed edge or small blade shapes are possible for this treatment.
>
The correct posture is the pencil grip or the spring grip, with thumb and index finger facing each other.
>
The motion of the scalpel is realised thanks to the thumb and index finger along with the rotation of the wrist, whereby a semi-circular cut is desirable.
>
The scalpel is guided thanks to the hand resting on the dorsum of the foot, the back of the scalpel being covered by the thumb.
>
The index finger is located on the opposite side of the blade, the middle and ring fingers lightly clasp the handle of the scalpel.
>
The motion is from the wrist while keeping the forearm as close to the body as possible.
>
Place the blade flat against the hyperkeratosis to be treated, then file off small sections and choose a short cutting path.
