Podiatry

Examination of nails, plantar skin, warts, and foot lesions for assessment and follow-up.

Podiatrists face a wide range of nail and skin conditions that require detailed visualization. Smart G-Scope helps examine onychomycosis, ingrown nails, hyperkeratosis, plantar warts, and vascular lesions with the detail needed for a clinically oriented assessment.

Longitudinal documentation supports treatment follow-up, especially in diabetic or at-risk feet where early detection of complications is critical.

Images can be shared with dermatologists or vascular surgeons when interdisciplinary assessment is needed, improving care coordination.

Smart G-Scope is a visualization and documentation tool, not a medical device. Clinical interpretation remains the responsibility of qualified professionals.

Key benefits

  • Detailed visualization of nail pathology
  • Documentation of hyperkeratosis and plantar lesions
  • Follow-up of antifungal treatments
  • Early warning signs in the diabetic foot
  • Improved visual communication with other specialists

Practical examples

Onychomycosis follow-up

A podiatrist documents a fungal nail infection over months of topical therapy, showing the patient progressive improvement and supporting adherence.

Plantar wart evaluation

Before cryotherapy, the podiatrist captures images to differentiate the lesion from a corn and document its extent, planning the expected number of sessions.

Limitations & best practices

  • Does not replace mycological culture for definitive diagnosis.
  • Disinfect the device between patients according to protocol.
  • Refer suspicious pigmented lesions to dermatology.
