Description
The Snippex 13 cm double-sided angled file is a precise professional instrument for pedicure, podiatry, and specialized foot care.The slender, curved working ends make it possible to carefully approach and file hard-to-reach nail edges, particularly for nails that grow strongly inwards or whose sides are difficult to reach with a standard nail file.
The file has two differently shaped ends: one straight end and one slightly rounded side.This allows the specialist to adapt the instrument to the shape of the nail, the nail fold, and the specific area being worked on.The stainless steel construction is durable, easy to clean, and suitable for disinfection and sterilization according to applicable professional hygiene procedures.
Thanks to the compact length of 13 cm the angled file lies stably in the hand and remains easy to control during precise work.The instrument forms a practical addition to professional pedicure sets, podiatry instruments, and aids for the care of natural toenails.
Professional angled file for hard-to-reach nail edges
With strongly curved, thickened, or ingrown toenails, the sides of the nail can be difficult to reach.A standard straight file is often too wide or cannot be positioned at the correct angle.
The Snippex angled file for ingrown nails has narrow working ends that allow the specialist to work precisely along the nail edge.The curved shape facilitates access to the lateral nail grooves and helps to smooth sharp or uneven nail edges in a controlled manner.
The instrument is intended for precise professional use.The file must be used with smooth movements and without excessive pressure to avoid unnecessary stress on the nail and surrounding skin.

Two different working ends
The Snippex file features two functional ends.One side has a relatively straight shape and is suitable for controlled filing along a more even nail edge.
The second end is slightly rounded.This allows the specialist to more easily follow the natural curvature of the nail and reach areas where a completely straight file might be less comfortable to place.
The choice of end depends on the nail shape, accessibility of the side, and the professional technique used.By combining both sides within a single instrument, there is less need to switch tools during treatment.
Straight tip for controlled nail care
The straight tip can be used to carefully smooth accessible sides and edges of the nail.The narrow shape helps to work in a targeted manner without filing a large part of the nail plate at once.
This tip is practical when a clear and controlled movement along the nail edge is required.The specialist maintains good visibility of the treated area and can accurately apply pressure.
Use short, controlled movements and regularly check the shape and condition of the nail edge.
Rounded tip for curved nail edges
The slightly rounded tip fits better on nails with a curved shape.This allows the file to be guided more comfortably along the side and hard-to-reach areas to be approached more accurately.
The rounded shape is particularly practical when the nail edge is set deep into the side or when the natural nail is strongly curved.
The instrument must always be inserted carefully.Do not force the file into a narrow nail groove and stop in case of pain, bleeding, or obvious damage to the skin.
Practical for ingrown toenails
An ingrown nail may have sharp or hard-to-reach sides.The Snippex angled file helps the professional to approach the free edge of the nail precisely and gently refine uneven areas.
The instrument is suitable as part of professional nail care, but does not constitute a standalone medical treatment.In case of severe pain, inflammation, wound formation, pus, diabetes-related foot problems, or other complications, assessment by a qualified healthcare professional is necessary.
Correct technique, good lighting, and stable positioning of the foot are important for safe and precise use.
Compact size of 13 cm
With a length of approximately 13 centimeters the angle file is compact enough for precise detail work and long enough to be held stably between the fingers.
The handy size gives the specialist control over the working angle and the pressure applied.This is important for small nail surfaces and sensitive areas around the nail fold.
The file takes up little space and can easily be added to a professional instrument cassette, pedicure case, or sterilization tray.
Made of durable stainless steel
The Snippex pedicure file is manufactured from stainless steel.This material is suitable for professional instruments because it is sturdy, wear-resistant, and easy to clean.
The smooth metal surface does not absorb care products and can be thoroughly cleaned after use.With proper maintenance, the instrument remains suitable for repeated professional use.
Dry the file carefully after cleaning and check it regularly for deformation, corrosion, damaged edges, or other wear.
Suitable for disinfection and sterilization
The stainless steel instrument can be disinfected and sterilized according to practice procedures and the regulations for the equipment and agents used.
Before disinfection and sterilization, first remove all visible residues of nail material, skin, and care products.Also carefully clean the narrow and curved parts of both working ends.
Use only suitable cleaning and disinfecting agents for stainless steel instruments.Always follow the prescribed concentration, contact time, temperature, and drying procedure.
Professional hygiene between every client
A reusable pedicure instrument must be disposed of fully in accordance with the applicable hygiene protocol after every client.Mere superficial wiping is not sufficient for professional reuse.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment during cleaning and avoid direct contact with sharp or contaminated instrument parts.
Store the cleaned and sterilized angled file in a dry and protected place, separate from used instruments.
Suitable for professional pedicure and foot care
The angled file is a practical tool for various professional workplaces, including:
- pedicure salons;
- specialized foot care practices;
- podiatry and podology practices;
- beauty salons offering pedicure treatments;
- training courses for professional foot care;
- instrument sets for specialized nail care.
The instrument is primarily intended for users who possess knowledge of nail anatomy, professional hygiene, and the safe use of metal pedicure instruments.
Work precisely without excessive pressure
When filing sides and hard-to-reach nail edges, more pressure is not automatically more effective.An overly forceful movement can damage the nail edge, nail fold, or surrounding skin.
Work with short, calm, and controlled movements.Hold the instrument firmly and support the toe to limit unexpected movements.
Check the treated area regularly during treatment.Stop immediately if the client experiences pain or if redness, bleeding, or damage occurs.
Use of the Snippex angled file
Clean and disinfect the instrument before use according to the professional hygiene protocol.Ensure adequate lighting and position the foot and toe stably.
Choose the straight or slightly rounded end based on the shape and accessibility of the nail edge.Gently place the file along the free edge and perform small, controlled movements.
Remove only the portion that is safe and clearly accessible.Do not force the instrument under the nail or into a painful nail fold.
Clean, disinfect, and sterilize the corner file immediately after treatment according to applicable procedures.
Maintenance and inspection of the instrument
Before each treatment, check that both working ends are straight, smooth, and free of damage.Do not use the instrument if an end is bent, broken, sharply damaged, or compromised.
Dry the file completely after cleaning and sterilization.Prolonged contact with moisture or unsuitable chemicals can shorten the lifespan of the instrument, even with stainless steel.
Store the file in a suitable instrument holder or sterile packaging to prevent damage and recontamination.
