The choice of micromotor for treatment can significantly influence the efficiency and quality of care provided by a podiatrist. There are two main techniques: the wet technique and the dry technique. Below, we present a comparison of both.
What are the differences between the wet technique and the dry technique in podiatry?
Dry Technique
The dry technique is characterized by not using water-spray during treatment, using a dust suction system, which has several advantages:
– Simplicity: It facilitates the handling and maintenance of the micromotor, as it does not require an internal liquid system.
– Precision: It allows great finesse in work without interference from liquids, which is essential for delicate interventions.
– Speed: It requires less preparation and cleaning time after use, optimizing consultation time.
However, it is important to note that this method can generate heat during treatment (with very worn drills), so regular breaks are necessary to ensure patient comfort.
Wet Technique
On the other hand, the wet technique uses a water spray system, which offers multiple benefits:
– Comfort: Minimizes the heating of the drill, providing greater comfort to the patient during treatment.
– Safety: Significantly reduces the risk of burns and injuries from excessive heat.
– Cleanliness: Water spray helps control the dispersion of skin and nail debris, keeping the work area clean and tidy.
– Effectiveness: Being less painful, the treatment can be more complete and thorough.
As a disadvantage, unlike the dry technique, it requires a greater investment of time and maintenance costs.
