Disposable Ingrown Nippers

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy disposable ingrown nippers from. There seem to be few options for normal nippers but not the smaller sized ones geared towards removing pesky ingrown nails.

    thanks

    Hi footinthecity,

    I don't wish to be awkward, but when requesting information or advice about buying instruments or equipment it might be an idea to give the forum a clue as to where in the world you reside. This might generate replies that were useful to you!

    Hi footinthecity, I agree with Nikki, you may also receive more replies if we know who you are? Being anonymous in the early stages is fun but does make life harder as you become more involved with pod arena.
    I know as that is how I started.:empathy:
    Disposaables sound good but then I think just more land fill:eek:
    Back to your question I have not come across disposables.

    Cheers

    Hi Footinthecity

    I dont use disposables and would suspect that they would not be as sharp as good quality nippers but I stand to be corrected on that, not having used them!

    I always remove any nail spurs with a 15 blade- they are always to hand if have more than one patient with the same complaint, obviously always sharp, and of course disposable.It is often more comfortable for the patient too if the nail sulcus is very tight.

    Many years ago I tried a very slim pair of ingrown nippers and managed to nick the patients skin! So now I dont actually possess any ingrown nippers.

    Regards

    Hi All,

    It is also advisable not to cough as well when you make the cut! The patient must also ask permission to breath too!

    Yours,

    Colin.
