Hand Glove: A Tool Not Used to Its Potential.

A hand glove is not only used to maintain sterility of the procedure but also to protect the physician from communicable diseases. A glove can be used in a variety of procedures, which are commonly performed in clinics. These help the doctor by serving as a tool in procedures and in cutting the cost of these procedures.

Targeted cryotherapy using disposable biopsy punches.

Cryotherapy is a commonly used office procedure that causes destruction of tissue by cryonecrosis due to rapid freezing and thawing of cells. The limitation in treating plantar warts and deeper dermal lesions is that the freeze time should be longer to penetrate deeper, which results in collateral damage to normal skin surrounding the lesion. This results in unwanted side effects of prolonged pain, blistering and haemorrhage and increased healing time.
