RE: Sterilizing Bits Between Debridements (Jeff Kittay, DPM)
From: Lancing Malusky, DPM

I have been in practice since 1974 and am ABPS Board Certified. When we remodeled in 1986, I installed a central vacuum for our Xanax C0₂ laser. This quite adequately removes the environmental nail dust. My patients greatly appreciate having mechanical debridement of thick nails. When done with the debridement, we spin the bit in the cold sterile solution, instantly removing remnant debris. Making a DPM feel retro for providing this service is silly. And at 64, I am still very healthy, active, and lung disease free!
