Tissue & Cuticle Nipper

Description

A tissue and cuticle nipper is a tiny instrument used for precision cutting and removal of soft tissue, especially around the nails.

Purpose:

• Manicures and pedicures are popular ways to trim cuticles and remove dead skin from the nail plate surface. This helps to generate a clean and glossy appearance for fingernails and toenails.
  Podiatrists utilize cuticle nippers to treat hangnails, ingrown nails, and other soft tissue growths around the toes.

Types:

• There are many varieties of tissue and cuticle nippers available, however they vary in size and jaw design.
• The most popular kind has convex jaws that slope outwards, improving vision and access around the nail.
• There are also concave jaw nippers with an inward bend. These may be chosen for certain jobs, such as hangnail removal.

Design:

• Tissue and cuticle nippers are often constructed of surgical grade stainless steel. This guarantees that they are strong, sharp, and can be disinfected for safe usage.
• They feature cutting jaws with sharp edges that perfectly align when pressed.
• Self-opening handles are a typical feature, providing simple control and a secure grasp while in use.
• Nippers generally measure 4 to 4.5 inches in length.
