Adaptive nail scissors

What are adapative long handle nail scissors?

Adaptive nail scissors have longer or adapted handles for more leverage, so you need to exert less force on them with your fingers than normal scissors. They can also be helpful if you find it difficult to reach your toenails.

Most models have an angled handle with plastic to protect your fingers while you use them.

Long handle nail scissors are useful if you have arthritis, lack flexibility, have upper limb weakness, pain, or fatigue.
