Nghia Metal Cuticle Pusher P-06

A single-ended pusher in matte surgical stainless steel, 14.4 cm long, with a 9 mm spoon end.

The width is what you are choosing here. A 9 mm spoon covers most of a toenail fold in one sweep, which is faster on a pedicure than working across with a narrow tool. On small nails it is too much tool, so this is a foot instrument first.

Push cuticle back on damp skin, after soaking or a softener. Dry cuticle tears instead of releasing, and a torn fold is what leaves the client picking at it for a week.

Care

Stainless steel, so it takes autoclaving and chemical disinfection between clients. Dry it properly before it goes back in the pouch: moisture left in a hinge is what causes staining and eventually stiffness, not the sterilisation itself.
