Turnbull Nail Cutter

Description

Turnbull Nail Cutter

The Turnbull nail cutter has narrow jaws for reaching nail corners. It suits ingrown edges and other tight spots.

Two lengths

We offer 11.5 cm and 13 cm. Besides, the shorter one gives fine control. Meanwhile, the longer one adds leverage.

Why the Turnbull nail cutter

Narrow jaws slip into tight corners. As a result, the cut is precise. That reduces the risk of skin injury.

Typical uses

Podiatrists use it for ingrown nails. In addition, nurses use it in routine foot care. It also suits care homes.

Technique

Slide the narrow tip under the nail edge gently. Then cut in small steps. Also, check the skin after each cut.

Choosing a length

Small hands often prefer 11.5 cm. By contrast, thick nails call for 13 cm. Many podiatrists own both.

Finishing

File the cut edge smooth. Then check for spikes. That keeps the toe comfortable.

When to choose the Turnbull nail cutter

For example, an ingrown corner that digs into the skin needs a slim tip that can slide under the edge. In that case, the Turnbull pattern reaches where a broad cutter would pinch the toe.
