Handheld instruments designed to hold and provide rotatory movement (i.e., torque) to integral or detachable burs that are used for foot care. Foot care hand drills consist of high-speed powered (e.g., electric) instruments that typically include a control unit and an attached handpiece with a chuck and work with detachable components such as burs and polishing devices. Foot care hand drills are intended primarily for debriding callous and other hard tissue and also for shaping the toenails during therapeutic or cosmetic procedures; some dedicated burs also permit use under the nails. Foot care hand drills are not usually intended for nail care; they frequently include irrigation and/or vacuum suction capabilities.
