Datasheet:
“Fume and dust extraction systems for podiatry and chiropody are extremely essential for the health of practitioners. This is because foot care procedures tend to generate a number of harmful dust particles.
Nail dust collected during these procedures have been found to contain keratin, keratin hydrolysates, microbial debris, and viable fungal elements, including dermatophytes and saprotrophs.
There is also the risk of microbial dust during foot care procedures when treating callouses, corns, or during routine exfoliation. All of these particles get into the lungs and can lead to disorders like asthma, rhinitis, and possibly worse.
With all these waste products resulting in airborne dust, it is important to extract them and dispose of them using fit-for-purpose extraction technology as provided here by Vodex.
Our ChiroPOD UVC® podiatry and chiropody extraction system has been especially developed to remove, sterilise and filter harmful fumes and dusts for practitioners.
This ensures that you and your team are able to work in a clean, safe and healthy work environment.
Grinding dust from orthotics or adhesive fumes from insole or heel building can also be removed with the right choice of extraction system.
As a provider to the NHS we are proud of all our fume extraction and nail dust extraction products.”
Our new ChiroPOD® UVC is especially designed to remove and filter harmful fumes and dusts from trained practitioners ‘breathing zones’ (a beach ball size area in front of your face).
This ensures that you and your team are able to work in a clean, safe, protected and healthy work environment, as well as fully protecting your clients.
Our extractors are fully UKCA Approved and built in the UK.

Carly. Birmingham, UK –
Clinical Feedback:
One of our clinicians remarked that the air seemed much cleaner and fresher in the clinic after one day of use.
Patient A remarked that she often worried for the clinicians due to the amount of dust she could see coming off her feet during treatment, and that she felt quite relieved that we were using an extractor.
Many patients were surprised at how quiet and unobtrusive the extractor is.
Several patients said it seemed more hygienic.
At one point during treatment both clinician and patient could see a large stream of dust entering the funnel head; I wish we had caught it on camera.
My own thoughts – this is a wonderful piece of equipment, nail dust inhalation has been a real worry since starting my degree, during my first year on placement it was a regular enquiry when meeting experienced podiatrists, some used wipes over files, one in particular would wear a mask during an entire clinical session which led me to the question of extractor’s as a further form of protection. I found the extractor easy to assemble, simple to use, surprisingly quiet. It in no way hindered treatment time or patient communication.
