Cutting edges and heel

Professional nippers for leather Staleks PRO SMART 50 NS-50-4 – with straight cutting edges 4 mm long. Sharpened under a microscope on diamond wheels, so when performing a manicure, you get an even and neat cut, without wounds and burrs. After sharpening, the tool remains sharp for a long time, even under heavy load in salons. The cutting part has a protrusion ("heel") above the hinge plane, due to which you can easily process leather of different thicknesses, make a deeper cut.

Shape and length of handles

Staleks Pro Smart 50 NS-50-4 professional nippers for skin have rounded elongated handles, comfortable to work with, easily fixed between the fingers and the pad of the palm. The tool does not slip and does not require extra effort for secure holding.

Nipper spring

The spring of the NS-50-4 nippers consists of two plates, which give the tool a soft stroke. They are easily compressed, allowing you to control the degree of pressure and the accuracy of the cut. The hinges work smoothly, evenly distributing the load between the handles.

Professional nippers for leather Staleks PRO SMART 50 NS-50-4: material

Staleks Pro Smart 50 nippers are made of high-alloy stainless surgical steel. This is a durable metal with a high chromium content, not subject to deformation and wear even with active use. Steel cutting edges retain their sharpness for a long time, designed for neat and precise cutting without unnecessary effort.

The metal can withstand contact with water and chemicals. The surface is polished to a shine in two stages: on a grinding-petal wheel with graininess, to eliminate roughness, then with GOI paste to add gloss and protection from corrosion. After that, tumble finishing is carried out - high-tech grinding, and sandblasting to give a matte finish. The matte coating is resistant to scratches, and any marks on it are barely noticeable.

Cleaning the tool

Professional nail nippers should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. For the safety of the master and clients, the work table should be kept clean, and all stages of disinfection and sterilization should be observed. In addition, gloves and masks should be used. Let's consider the stages of processing step by step.

Step 1. Disinfection . It is carried out to destroy pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, as well as to reduce the number of fungal spores. To do this, the nippers should be immersed in a disinfectant solution, for example, Staleks Pro disinfectant. Then follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solution. Typically, the processing time is 15-30 minutes. When buying disinfectants, it is better to choose those whose instructions indicate the activity of hepatitis B, C and dermatomycosis viruses. Disinfection can be combined with washing in special devices to destroy blood and dirt particles using vibration.

Step 2. Washing . To remove any chemical solution residue, wash the tool with water and a special detergent manually or use a washing machine. In places of hinges and other connections, use special brushes with plastic bristles, carefully handling the cutting parts. An ultrasonic bath is also suitable for cleaning.

Step 3. Drying . To dry, carefully lay the nippers open, cutting side up, on disposable paper towels, then place them in craft bags. The tool must be dry, since any remaining moisture can cause corrosion during subsequent sterilization.

Step 4. Sterilization . Destroys not only bacteria, but also viruses and fungal spores. Follow the instructions of the sterilizer or solution manufacturer. Sterilization can be physical and chemical. Physical - hot, using high temperatures in steam equipment (autoclave) or dry air (dry heat), chemical - cold, using specialized chemical solutions.

Recommendations for sterilization and disinfection :

1. Despite the anti-corrosion coating of Staleks Pro nippers, they should not be soaked in water for a long time, as this will reduce the anti-corrosion protection.
2. Disinfectant for metal instruments. Do not use aggressive substances such as acetone and alkalis to treat instruments.
3. Use a special container for chemically aggressive products. The disinfectant solution should cover the nippers by at least 1 cm, the concentration and holding time are indicated on the product packaging.
4. After disinfection, thoroughly clean the nippers from any remaining solution, as this may cause corrosion.
5. After sterilization, leave the instrument in a dry heat sterilizer or autoclave until it cools completely, since a sharp temperature change can damage the physical properties of the steel, and sharpening will be required more often.
6. Fill the sterilizer 70% so as not to block the ventilation holes, fold the craft bags in one layer.
7. After sterilization, check the external indicators, which will change color if the procedure is successful. Open and remove the sterile instrument directly in front of the client.

How to check the cutting quality of a tool

The sharpness of the Smart series leather nippers is tested on film.

• Prepare the material on which the cut will be tested. Make sure it is level and sufficiently taut.
• Take the manicure nippers you want to test in your working hand. Open them and hold them relative to the material as you would when working with nail plate correction or cuticle trimming.
• Bring the material for testing between the cutting edges from the tip to the required sharpening length of the working cutting part and begin to smoothly make a cut with nippers. Perform it with a little pressure. Make sure that the tool does not touch, but makes an even and soft cut.
• Repeat the process to ensure the result is achieved. Make sure the cut is clear and light.
• If the cut is smooth and soft, the tool is suitable for work.
• If the nippers get caught or the cut is uneven, they should be replaced or the blades should be sharpened by a service center.
