Sklar's Mycotic Nail Nipper is a heavy, double-action podiatry instrument used for cutting thickened, mycotic nails. The double-action mechanism of this instrument allows the hardened nail to be trimmed more easily with less effort. The barrel spring and concave blades allow for the jaws to open wide and for a more accurate placement of the sharp blades. This product features a locking mechanism at the bottom of the handle to keep the blades locked in place when they are not in use. The overall length of this product is 5-3/4 inches.
