T4503 - THWAITES NIPPERS (13CM) for Ingrown Toenails
To use Thwaites nippers, position the flat jaw of the nipper underneath the nail you want to cut, then carefully close the nipper with the sharp jaw on top to precisely cut a section of the nail; this is typically used for ingrown toenails, where the flat jaw provides stability while the sharp jaw cleanly cuts the problematic part of the nail.
Key points about using Thwaites nippers:
Specialized design:
Thwaites nippers have one sharp jaw and one flat jaw, allowing for precise cuts on the nail's edge while maintaining control.
Underneath placement:
Always position the flat jaw of the nipper underneath the nail you want to trim.
Gentle squeeze:
Squeeze the nippers together with a controlled motion to make the cut.
Professional use:
Due to their precision and potential for delicate procedures, Thwaites nippers are primarily used by podiatrists for ingrown toenail treatments.
