Carbide Cutters are a relatively unknown Podiatry bur style that offers a range of benefits – most of which are unknown to the Podiatry community. The nature of their abrasion produces larger particle sizes, reducing the amount of dangerous nail dust aerosol that remains suspended in the air and, potentially in Podiatrist’s lungs.
They’re extremely effective at removing nail polish and handle large burring jobs with ease. The only drawback with this style of bur is due to their extreme removal capability – the finished surface of the nail may not be as smooth as desired. This can be quickly remedied with a quick diamond bur or hand file touch-up!
