LUKAS SK THERMO PODO ABRASIVE CAP 13MM FINE

Fine - abrasiveness 320 grit. Recommended speed: 7.000 – 10.000 (max. 11.000) rpm.

As an innovative, international manufacturer, LUKAS employs the advanced „thermo effect“ technology to its abrasive caps: The patented colour change immediately signals a potential danger of overheating. Users and patients gain an enhanced level of safety in podology and foot care.

With the colour-change technology, the colour change occurs in two steps to provide a timely warning of potential skin overheating. The user can react immediately by reducing the pressure, choosing a different skin area or briefly interrupting the treatment. The patient experiences a comfortable treatment without any tingles or pain. The risk of skin damage due to overheating is almost eliminated.

Diabetes patients will particularly embrace this technological progress in medical foot care / podology, as they often suffer from neuropathy, leading to a reduced perception of temperature and pain. In the worst case, neither the user nor the patient may notice the high abrasive temperature early enough during the treatment, risking injuries or burns.

Furthermore, diabetes patients often show slow wound healing. Conventional instruments such as milling tools, diamond cutters, or scalpels always carry a risk for burns or injuries, resulting in severe con sequences for diabetes patients. With the state-of-the-art THERMO abrasive caps, these risks are minimized

LUKAS offers instruments suitable for all treatment purposes.

• Coarse grits and large cap diameters remove thick callus layers;
• medium and fine grits are optimal for subsequent polishing.
• Caps with medium-sized dia meters are best suited for removal of medium to thin callus layers.
• The smallest cap diameters are used for toes, toe tips and difficult to reach areas.
