Preparation: Ensure the tool is fully sterilized. Assess the client’s toenail architecture and locate the packed skin or dry debris within the lateral folds.

Lateral Fold Scraping: Carefully insert one of the rounded, spoon-shaped curette ends into the lateral canal of the toenail plate.

Debris Extraction: Using gentle, dragging, or sweeping motions toward the free edge, smoothly lift and pull out trapped dirt, callused buildup, and dry filings. Always work with minimal, rhythmic pressure, letting the hand-finished edge safely scoop the tissue away.

Disinfection: Immediately after finishing the procedure, clean off all skin debris and dust. Soak the entire tool in professional disinfectant solutions following the manufacturer's exact time and concentration guidelines.

Sterilization: The high-alloy stainless steel structure is completely safe for professional sterilization. Place the tool in a sterilization pouch and process it inside a dry-heat oven or an autoclave.
