TOUCH - Diamond Cylinder Nail Drill Bit Red 3.0 mm

TOUCH Diamond Cylinder Bit Red, 3.0mm

A cylinder-shaped diamond bit with a soft red notch, built for gentle, delicate work around thin or sensitive periungual zones — a softer alternative to the medium-grit blue version in the same shape and size.

Why Red Instead of Blue

Red notch is soft, suited to thin, sensitive skin around the nail; blue notch runs medium grit, better suited to normal, denser, or rougher skin. If you're choosing between the two, the deciding factor is how delicate the client's skin is, not the shape itself.

What the Cylinder Shape Does

• Evens out the sides of the free edge
• Cleans periungual sinuses and gently treats the surrounding skin
• Minimizes clogging of the working surface with filings during use
• Suited to lifting the cuticle and forming a clean "step" before trimming

FAQ

How do I choose between the red and blue notch?
Blue has medium grit, suited to normal, denser, or rougher skin; red is soft, built for thin, sensitive periungual areas.

Can this bit open up the subcuticular pocket deeply?
No — its flat tip and straight edges are built for even lines, clean steps, side wall treatment, and removing material buildup, not deep pocket work.

Can it be sterilized in a dry heat sterilizer?
Yes, the materials allow for standard chemical and thermal disinfection and sterilization.
