Clinical Application
Designed to assist controlled removal and debridement of the nail plate in podiatric, dermatologic and minor hand/foot procedures. The instrument is used to grasp, apply traction and separate nail tissue from the nail bed or lateral folds during partial or total nail avulsion, treatment of onychocryptosis (ingrown toenail) and similar procedures where precise extraction of nail material is required.
Design & Configuration
The forceps feature a focused jaw geometry that provides secure purchase on nail material while minimizing slippage. The hand-held configuration allows single-handed control of traction vectors, enabling the operator to apply steady peeling or tearing motions without excessive soft-tissue trauma. A slim working profile improves visibility in the distal digit and facilitates access beneath the nail edge.
