Clipping your nails is one of those tasks that never gets much thought or attention until you experience nail problems that could have been averted with proper nail care. Nails require proper care so they can do their job of protecting fingers and toes from injury. Fingernails grow 2-3 millimeters every month and toenails 1mm. Failure to keep nails trimmed properly can result in severe pain when they tear or break. Properly trimmed nails are normally stronger and more resilient that longer nails.
The benefits of well trimmed nails are many. You can avoid injury or catching your nails on clothes and damaging them. Shorter nails are less susceptible to bacteria, disease and infection. Shorter nails won't scratch another person when you touch them and if you work on a computer keyboard of any kind you know how troublesome longer nails can be. Even certain musical instruments such as piano or string instruments require shorter nails to play properly.
As with any type of personal care some people keep their nails in better condition than others. Those that put off nail trimming often report dissatisfaction with the way nail clippers work. Standard nail clippers can be difficult to use for many people including children, the elderly, and those with poor vision or other physical challenges. Clippers with pressure levers at the back of the device can be harder to position at the nail, can easily slip off the the fingers and are generally more awkward to operate.
For over a hundred years inventors have been searching for ways to improve nail clippers. Now one is here. A brand new style of nail clipper: Clip-Right®, that features an inverse pressure lever. This new system places the point of pressure to clip the nail at the front of the clipper, over the blade instead of the back, providing a higher level of stability and accuracy when clipping nails.
Not only is the inverse pressure system more stable and accurate but it also operates better in your hand than standard nail clippers. With the old design the clipper hangs out over your fingers when pressure is applied, and the lever can slide off to the side However with the new Clip-Right® design the clipper sits inside your palm for a more ergonomic feel and operation, and the inverse pressure lever does not rotate from side to side.
It may seem all too much to make note of a technical change in such a small item, however when one considers that billions of people clip their nails every day, this type of advancement can affect millions.
For elderly people who experience problems squeezing typical nail clippers due to arthritis or muscle fatigue Clip-Right®'s design provides additional leverage for squeezing and aligning the nail clipper to your nail correctly.
If you suffer from tremors or if you must use your less favored hand to operate your clippers for any reason you will find the Clip-Right® inverse levered system provides a larger tab to clip with and a more stable action that you'll find easier to use.
The rounded face of the clipper allows you to allows you to clip around the sides of your nails more easily. And the stainless steel construction helps maintain cleanliness and durability.
Clipping nails is one of those personal chores that usually doesn’t get a second thought, yet someone found a way to improve on the traditional way of doing it. Now it's here at pricing similar to that of most good quality nail clippers.
Currently the Clip-Right® nail clipper is available through Amazon.com with more retail locations to follow. More information is at clip-right.com
