Question
curved blades are pictured for these scissors but it sails they have straight blades. Are these scissors strong enough for trimming ingrown toenails as well as fingernails? My podiatrist recommeded I use straight bladed scissors. Are they stainless steel?

Answer

This product is made from stainless steel, but may not have the leverage to get through to a deep seated ingrown nail.  You may wish to also consider Ingrown Nail Splitting Scissors, 6in, Straight, One Serrated Blade item# 091-228FSI.  These are more expensive, but given the potential cost of surgery and the level of discomfort, they may be worth the investment.
