Gently push back overgrown cuticles on your nail with the Medicare Cuticle Clippers. Cuticles are the waterproof barrier between your nail and finger. A healthy cuticle should never be totally removed. To use, gently push back overgrown cuticles with a hoof stick, then carefully remove any dead skin with the clippers. After use, wash the clippers, dry them with a towel, and store them safely. For hygiene, sterilize the blades between users. Keep the clippers out of reach of children.
