FAQs

How do I sterilise STALEKS PODO podology nippers?

PODO nippers are compatible with all standard sterilisation methods including autoclave (up to 134°C), dry-heat oven, and chemical sterilisation. After each client, brush debris from the blades under running water, immerse in your approved disinfectant solution, then sterilise per your clinic’s infection control protocol.

What is the difference between scissors-style and standard nippers?

Scissors-style nippers use ring handles like scissors, giving podiatrists and pedicurists a familiar, ergonomic grip during longer procedures. They provide excellent rotational control for precise cuticle and callus work on toes, where access angles can be challenging. Standard lever-style nippers offer more cutting force but less fine control.

Can I use PODO nippers at home?

STALEKS PODO instruments are designed for trained professionals. Callus and cuticle removal on feet requires proper technique to avoid injury or infection, particularly around the nail folds. If you have problematic calluses, thickened cuticles, or foot care concerns, we recommend visiting a qualified podiatrist or medical pedicurist.

How do I maintain the blade edge on PODO nippers?

PODO nippers are factory-sharpened to a precise edge. To maintain blade life: always clean immediately after use, never cut wire or hard materials, store with blade guards or in a protective tray, and inspect the cutting edge weekly for nicks or dulling. Replace when the blades no longer cut cleanly in a single pass. Do not attempt to re-sharpen at home.

What are podology nippers used for?

Podology nippers are specialised foot care instruments designed for removing dry cuticle, callus tissue, and pterygium around the toenails. The scissors-style design provides precise, controlled cutting action ideal for working in the tight spaces around toenail folds. They are essential tools for professional podiatrists and medical pedicurists performing routine foot care.
