Cuticle Nipper 10.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise removal of cuticle tissue, thin epithelium and hangnails in dermatologic and podiatric care, minor nail surgery and clinical nail care procedures. The instrument enables controlled, atraumatic trimming of superficial soft tissue at the proximal and lateral nail folds and is used where fine, accurate excision is required. Not intended for cutting suture or dense connective tissue.

Design & Configuration

The compact 10.5 cm length provides a balance of reach and fingertip control, allowing clinicians to work within the confined space of the nail plate and surrounding fold. The plier-style, spring-actuated handles return the jaws to an open position for rapid, one-handed use and improved procedural efficiency. Short, fine cutting tips concentrate force at the edge of the blades for clean shearing of thin soft tissue, minimizing traction and permitting precise, close work adjacent to the nail margin.
