The Medicare Cuticle Clippers feature a built-in spring for extra control. Cuticles are the waterproof barrier between your nail and finger. A healthy cuticle should never be totally removed. Gently push back overgrown cuticles on the nail with a hoof stick. This will highlight any dead skin which should be carefully removed with the Cuticle Clippers. Blades should be sterilised between users. Keep out of reach of children. Suitable for women's use.
