Our Podiatry instrument kits (Podiatry Kit – Mini & Full) are a carefully curated collection of specialized tools used by podiatrists for the treatment and prevention of various foot and lower limb conditions. These kits are essential for providing comprehensive foot care, from routine maintenance to minor surgical procedures.
Components of a Podiatry Instrument Kit
Our podiatry instrument kit includes a range of tools, made from high-quality, sterilizable stainless steel. Common instruments found in a kit include:
1. Nail Care Instruments:
• Nail Nippers (or Clippers): Specialized clippers with strong, sharp, often curved blades for safely trimming and shaping toenails, particularly thickened or ingrown nails.
• Nail Splitters: Used for longitudinally splitting ingrown or problematic nails.
• Cuticle Nippers: Smaller, finer nippers for precise work on cuticles and delicate skin around the nails.
• Nail Files: For smoothing rough edges, reducing thickened nails, and refining nail shape.
• Nail Curettes: Small, scoop-like tips for gently removing debris, dead tissue, or infected material from under the nail or in the nail folds.
2. Debridement and Skin Care Instruments:
• Scalpel Handles and Blades: Essential for safely and precisely removing calluses, corns, and thickened skin (hyperkeratosis). Blades come in various shapes and sizes for different applications.
• Corn Shavers: Tools specifically designed for the controlled removal of corns.
• Elevators: Used to lift tissue or bone, particularly during nail surgeries.
