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