Krisztine Grad RN

Course Developer-Author, Founder, Instructor

Hello there! I'm Krisztine Grad, a Registered Nurse, and a member of CNO, RNAO, and CAFCN. I'd like to extend a warm welcome and express my gratitude for your interest! Although I've been offering foot care services since 2005, my fascination with burring began in 2011 during my visit to northern California, USA. It was during this trip that I was introduced to the Helius40, a drill used for podiatry procedures that utilizes an integrated vacuum system to maintain high speed. Since then, I've realized the countless benefits of using this drill, in addition to a wide selection of over 95 unique bur types. With this combination, not only can precise clinical procedures be achieved, but it also guarantees a safer and painless experience for patients, regardless of the complexity of the case. The adoption of this podiatry equipment completely revolutionized my practice and ignited my ambition to master the techniques of burring. Over the past decade, I've been fortunate to attend various conferences and events across different provinces, where I have provided guidance and demonstrated safe practices using a diverse assortment of burs. My ultimate objective is to educate fellow foot care providers and share my expertise with you.
