Key Categories in Our Podiatry Instruments Line
1. Burs, Drills & Rotary Tools
Our burs and rotary tools are engineered to tackle thickened nails, hyperkeratosis, corns and surface smoothing with precision.
- Diamond Burs: High-grade diamond grit for fine finishing and smoothing — ideal for delicate areas and polish passes.
- Carbide Burs: Strong, aggressive cutting for bulk reduction of thick or dystrophic nails and dense keratin.
- Ceramic Burs: Low heat, gentle abrasion — suited for finishing, final smoothing, and sensitive skin applications.
- Sanding & Polishing Caps: Multi-grit disposable caps (coarse, medium, fine) for controlled removal and smoothing while maintaining hygiene.
2. Scalpel Handles & Blades
Precision cutting is the foundation of many podiatric interventions. Our scalpel handles and blades are crafted to provide balanced control, accuracy, and ease of use.
- Sturdy, autoclavable scalpel handles with ergonomic grip designs.
- Assorted blade types and sizes (e.g. #10, #11, #15) for tasks ranging from corn or lesion excision to trimming callus borders.
- Blade/handle compatibility with easy blade change mechanisms to facilitate workflow and maintain sterility.
3. Nail & Skin Instruments
Our repertoire includes specialized instruments for nail edges, cuticle work, paronychia treatment and callus removal:
- Curved and straight nail nippers designed for leverage, minimal chatter and clean trims.
- Cuticle pushers, lift tools and precision probes for safe maneuvering around the nail fold.
- Callus shredders, gouges and scalers for controlled keratin removal with minimized trauma.
4. Instrument Kits & Sets
For convenience, Algeos curates instrument kits that combine complementary tools into unified sets — ideal for new practitioners, portable clinics or simplified ordering.
- Starter kits featuring burs, nippers, scrapers and disposable caps.
- Advanced kits targeting more specialized treatments (e.g. diabetic foot debridement, minor foot surgery support).
- Refill or augmentation packs so you can expand or maintain your kit without replacing core components.
5. Accessories, Consumables & Spare Parts
Beyond instruments themselves, we support clinic logistics with essential accessories and spares:
- Instrument holders, trays and sterilisation cassette trays tailored to podiatry workflows.
- Replacement burs, caps, seals and mounting sleeves to keep tools in active rotation.
- Cleaning aids such as bur brushes or decontamination holders to streamline maintenance.

How to Select the Right Instrument for Your Practice
Choosing the ideal mix of instruments depends on your treatment scope, patient base and workflow. Here’s a simple framework to guide selection:
- Task-Driven Selection: Use carbide burs for rapid reduction, diamond or ceramic burs for smoothing and finishing.
- Instrument Versatility: Choose multi-use handles or modular systems that accept multiple head types.
- Kit vs. A La Carte: Kits offer a balanced starter set; for niche specialties, build bespoke configs with individual instrument selection.
- Maintain Consumables Inventory: Ensure spare burs, caps and blades are easily accessible to avoid downtime mid-procedure.
- Ergonomic Priorities: In high-volume settings, prioritize instruments with grip comfort, balance and minimal vibration.
