Cuticle Nipper 11.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise trimming and removal of excess cuticle, hangnails, and small fragments of periungual tissue in podiatry, dermatology, and minor nail procedures. The instrument provides controlled excision of keratinous tissue at the proximal and lateral nail folds and is useful when fine, atraumatic cuts are required to prepare the nail margin for further treatment or dressing.

Design & Configuration

The short, pointed jaws and compact 11.5 cm length give enhanced visibility and fingertip control in confined spaces around the nail plate. The spring-action, plier-style design returns the jaws to the open position for rapid, repeatable cuts and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive trimming. The narrow beak geometry permits accurate single‑bite removal of delicate tissue with minimal collateral trauma.
