Replaceable Abrasives For the Swiss File Foot Sander

The Swiss File foot sander has been designed for easy hygiene maintenance. The unit is designed to work with replaceable adhesives, or 'filers', that can be changed out after each use. While it is still important to regularly clean the stainless-steel material of the file, hygiene maintenance requires much less effort when using replaceable pads.

It is possible to buy replacement pads in the following grains:

• 60 grain graded pads (coarse): ideal for use on skin with calluses, corns, and very hard or dry skin. 
• 100 grain graded pads (moderate): the perfect choice for those with hard and dry skin that may have small corns or tougher areas
• 220 grain graded pads (fine): a softer option for those who want to perform some light filing of the feet to help maintain their natural softness

Please Note: Each of these additional pad sets are supplied with 80x replaceable abrasive pads.

How To Use this Reusable Foot File

Before you begin with your stainless-steel foot file, it is important to ensure that the unit is thoroughly clean. Once you are sure your file is free from harmful germs and bacteria, follow the below instructions:

• Prepare your abrasive pad by removing the protective film
• Stick the abrasive pad onto the flat surface of the file
• Use the side of the foot-sander with the abrasive pad stuck onto it to file calloused, dry, or hard skin on the feet
• Once the skin has been filed, remove and dispose of the abrasive pad, and thoroughly clean your steel filing unit

How To Clean the Steel Foot File

This stainless-steel foot file is fully autoclavable for optimal hygiene maintenance. Using an autoclave, you can ensure the successful eradication of any germs or bacteria left on the surface of the material to significantly reduce contamination risks and ensure hygienic usage. This is especially useful in clinical podiatry settings, where the same file may come into contact with multiple sets of feet.

It's important to ensure that this file is thoroughly cleaned after every use, especially if it is being used for multiple people. For a quicker but still effective clean, stainless-steel materials can be sanitised using hot water and a detergent.
