Description

Designed for accurate placement of sulci protectors.

The Sulci Injector MK2 is a specialised professional instrument used for the precise insertion of sulci protectors into the nail sulcus, especially in cases of ingrown toenails or irritated nail folds. Sulci protectors help straighten, mend, and shape the nail edge, while also cushioning it against irritation or inflammation caused by pressure from the nail wall. The injector ensures that the protector is positioned smoothly, safely, and without trauma, making it an essential tool for modern orthonyxia and podiatric treatments.
