A range of educational supports

Designed with podiatrists and engineers specialized in the medical field, our multimaterial 3D printed hallux models enable the acquisition of technical gestures specific to podiatry such as the milling of the nail and the resection of the nail spur.

Composition of PODO-Train range, codesigned with pedicure-podologists

PODO-Train is a range of 3D-printed procedural simulators, intended for initial training and continuing education in pedicure-podology. An efficient support to a pedagogical program, PODO-Train was developed in collaboration with a training organization. It thus offers students the most realistic simulation experience.

The range has a broad choice of training cartridges. It allows both the learning of the micromotor and the nail clippers, and the simulation of complex care situations.

The elements present in the models are the following:

  • A Hallux used as a support base
  • A removable nail cartridge to practise
  • An articulated arm

Simulators tailored to your needs

The wide variety of nail dystrophies and skin flexibility offers a panel of simulators suitable for every level of pedicure-podology experience:

We offer three levels of skin hardness for nail cartridges:
Soft: fragile but very accessible peri-ungual grooves
Intermediate
Firm: resistant but hard to access peri-ungual grooves
As well as different nail dystrophies for a greater variety of care scenarios: physiological, thick or long nail, plicated, trumpet or tile nail, onychosis…

Procedures that can be performed on the PODO-Train simulators:

  1. Milling of the nail plate
