The Ingrowing Toenail Trainer closely simulates an adult inflamed toe end and allows for procedures such as wedge excision, ring block and total ablation of the nailbed.

This cost-effective trainer comes equipped with 3 interchangeable Toe Ends (80073), that allow 2 wedge excision procedures to be carried out on each toe. The trainer also includes a Toe Jig (80074) that allows for the toe to be secured and fixed in position when performing ingrowing toenail procedures.
