Econo double end spatula & packer is commonly used in podiatry. It features one smooth, rounded teardrop tip (spatula) and one blunt probe end (packer). The spatula end is used to separate the nail plate from the nail bed. The packer is used to place packing under or around the toe following a surgical procedure. Econo instruments are Sklar's floor-grade, disposable instruments. Made in Pakistan, they offer the greatest utility at the lowest cost. Econo instruments eliminate the need for cleaning and reprocessing. Because they are disposable, Econo instruments also reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination. Econo instruments are available in bulk quantities.
