Infection control is something I take very seriously. Reducing the transmission of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and fungal infections is paramount for the safe treatment of patients attending our clinic.

Instruments are what I use on a daily basis for nail cutting, ingrowing toe nails and callus/hard skin/ corn removal alongside other procedures. The guidelines set out involve decontamination and sterilisation of instruments, these are strictly adhered to for the prevention of infection

The stages of decontamination and sterilisation are -

1.The instruments are thoroughly scrubbed with a brush in water, ensuring the crevasses of the instruments are cleaned of any residual debris.
2. They are then placed into an ultrasonic cleaner, the debris that may be present on the instruments, drops to the bottom of the ultrasonic machine.
3. Instruments are then rinsed in clean water to remove any detergent residue.
4. They are removed from the water onto dry paper towels and covered until the instruments are dry.
5. The instruments are then placed into vacuum pouches ready for the sterilisation stage.
6. The instrument pouches are placed into the autoclave and set off on a cycle that will reach a temperature of 134 °C degrees for 4 minutes which is the recommended time and temperature acceptable for the vacuum instrument sterilisation process. Thermal print outs and a internal USB records every cycle the machine completes.

Traceability of instruments is very important, for every set of instruments the cycle number is recorded on each set and dated.

Hopefully this explanation of the process of decontamination and sterilisation of instruments is simple to understand and also reassuring in that all the instruments I use in have gone through this very strict and rigorous process

WHAT IS A UREA CREAM?
I talk about using a good urea based cream during treatments, different strengths and what would be best for you, But what is it?
Urea is a keratolytic agent used in some skin care products
It is found in skin, where it helps sustain barrier function and provide moisture
Urea is commonly found in foot creams as it is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient
Urea cream can soften dry, rough, or thick skin and is used for many skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and athlete’s foot
The use of Urea helps to improve the skin's natural ability to bind in moisture, resulting in the avoidance of further moisture loss, whilst also improving the skin's natural lipid barrier

Now the cold weather is coming, this is a lovely add on treatment.

Paraffin Wax Treatment – a luxury treatment, intended to add moisture and softness to the skin. It also provides therapeutic heat to aching joints. The treatment is effective for cracked heels, cold feet and hands and joint stiffness. Many find it a useful and a relaxing preventative treatment.

Wax treatments offer several benefits, primarily as a form of heat therapy and skin softener. They can help improve circulation, relax muscles, reduce joint stiffness, and soothe aches and pains. Additionally, they can soften and moisturise the skin, making it feel smoother and more supple.

Benefits include-

• Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation

• Improved Circulation

• Skin Softening and Hydration

• Reduced Joint Stiffness

• Reduced Inflammation

• Soothes Aches and Pains

This can be added to any of your treatments. Please get in touch to arrange your wax treatment!
