Tool measures approximately 5" (12.5 cm) long and has a spoon shape at one end and a slanted pointed end at the other. Tool can be either sterilised, disinfected or sanitised and will not rust as it is made from the highest quality steel. Easy to use, use the spoon shape to lift the proximal nail fold (the flappy bit of skin by the cuticle!) and the pointed end to remove the true cuticle from the nail plate. This is a professional nail tool so amateurs use it at your own risk! Pointed end will stay sharp forever - if used correctly. Middle part of tool is ridged for enhanced grip.
