Podiatry instruments – corner pliers, nail nippers & scalpels
What instruments do podiatrists use?

- Double-ended instruments such as nail cleaners & spatulas
- Cuticle pushers
- Hollow chisels & scalpel handles

- Burs & abrasive attachments for the foot care device
In professional podiatry, only high-quality, sterilizable stainless steel instruments are used – such as those manufactured by RUCK. These are approved for medical use and are durable.

Why not regular nail scissors?
Normal scissors:
- are not designed for thick nail plates
- can cause nails to split
- pose a risk of injury
- do not provide sufficient leverage
Podiatric instruments, on the other hand, are:
✔ hardened
✔ precisely ground
✔ durable
✔ sterilizable
✔ approved for medical use
