Top Podiatry Supplies – Trusted Tools for Foot Care Professionals & Clinics
Foot care is a critical component of overall health and well-being, especially for individuals living with chronic conditions like diabetes or circulatory disorders. For podiatrists and foot care professionals, having access to reliable, high-quality tools and supplies is essential for delivering safe, effective, and professional care. Whether it’s routine check-ups, nail care, or more advanced procedures, the right podiatry supplies help ensure successful outcomes for every patient.
At Livingstone International, we understand the demands of modern podiatry. That’s why we supply an extensive range of top podiatry supplies designed to meet the needs of clinics, hospitals, aged care facilities, and home care professionals. From precision instruments to hygiene essentials and protective equipment, our podiatry product line is trusted by healthcare professionals across Australia.
In this blog, we’ll explore the essential podiatry supplies every clinic should have on hand and how Livingstone International supports the podiatry community with durable, medical-grade products designed for performance, safety, and patient comfort.
Why Quality Podiatry Supplies Matter
Podiatry deals with complex structures—bones, nerves, skin, and nails—each requiring delicate care. Unlike general medical tools, podiatry instruments are designed specifically for the unique challenges of foot and ankle treatment. Using substandard tools can lead to patient discomfort, poor procedural outcomes, and a greater risk of infection.
Whether you’re trimming toenails, managing corns and calluses, treating fungal infections, or performing minor surgeries, using professional-grade podiatry supplies ensures:
-
Greater accuracy and control
-
Higher patient satisfaction
-
Reduced risk of cross-contamination
-
Compliance with hygiene and safety standards
Essential Podiatry Supplies for Every Clinic
Here are the most vital tools and supplies every podiatrist or foot care professional should keep stocked:
1. Nail Nippers & Clippers
Cutting thick or deformed toenails requires durable tools. Nail nippers are designed with strong, curved blades to safely trim nails without causing trauma to the surrounding skin. Livingstone’s nail clippers and nippers are made from high-quality stainless steel, allowing for repeated sterilisation and long-term use.
Foot Files and Callus Removers
Managing rough heels and calluses is a routine part of podiatry. We offer double-sided foot files, pumice stones, and surgical-grade callus shavers for gentle yet effective treatment. These tools improve comfort and foot appearance, especially for patients with diabetes or poor circulation.
Podiatry Scissors and Forceps
Scissors and forceps are used for detailed work such as trimming dressings, cutting cuticles, or removing debris from wounds. Our range includes:
-
Iris scissors
-
Dressing scissors
-
Splinter forceps
-
Nail and skin forceps
These tools are crafted for precision and ease of use, whether you’re working in a busy clinic or home care environment.
Sterilisation and Hygiene Supplies
Infection control is non-negotiable in podiatry. At Livingstone, we supply:
-
Autoclavable instrument trays
-
Disinfectants & surface cleaners
-
Sterile wraps and sterilisation pouches
-
Disposable gloves, masks & gowns
These supplies help podiatrists maintain a clean and compliant environment, protecting both patients and practitioners.
Dressing and Bandaging Materials
From post-procedure care to wound management, high-quality bandages and dressings are a must. Our selection includes:
-
Sterile gauze pads
-
Cohesive and adhesive bandages
-
Non-woven swabs
-
Hydrocolloid and foam dressings
-
Toe separators and wound strips
We also offer white cohesive bandages, which are ideal for securing dressings without causing irritation, especially useful for sensitive foot skin.
6. Single-Use Items
For clinics that focus on infection prevention and hygiene, our range of disposable podiatry tools helps reduce cross-contamination. These include:
-
Disposable scalpels and blades
-
Nail files and toe separators
-
Applicator sticks and cotton swabs
-
Sterile gloves and protective footwear cover
All Livingstone disposables meet TGA standards and are ideal for clinics, mobile care, and community outreach programs.
7. Diagnostic Tools
Podiatry isn’t only about treatment—it’s also about accurate diagnosis. Our diagnostic tools include:
-
Reflex hammers
-
Tuning forks (128 Hz & 256 Hz)
-
Monofilaments (for diabetic foot testing)
-
Dermascopes for skin assessments
Having these on hand ensures early detection of issues like neuropathy, poor circulation, or infections, allowing for timely intervention.
Instrument Care & Storage
Extend the life of your podiatry instruments with the right cleaning and storage supplies. Livingstone offers:
-
Enzymatic instrument cleaners
-
Lubricants for hinged tools
