Ceramic cutters can be of different shapes and have different grain sizes. Perfect for those who are just learning to do a manicure. Ceramics are insensitive to chemical disinfectant solutions, they can be heated in an autoclave or oven. Most often such nozzles have average abrasiveness. If it is required to carry out processing of a rigid covering, it is better to get very firm nozzles.
