207. Chris Vignaud | Calicure
The CALICURE was invented for one simple reason...to PREVENT calluses from rips and tears. As a new Crossfitter, Chris Vignaud quickly realized the importance of proper hand care. With 20+ years of experience as a Medical-Surgical nurse, he had witnessed first hand all sorts of wounds and treatment options. However, using scissors, razors or your teeth are NOT the proper tools to use on your hands.
You NEED a SAFE and SIMPLE tool to properly manage your calluses thus PREVENTING RIPS while REDUCING risk for infection and cross-contamination.
The CALICURE hand file allows you to SAFELY remove excess skin build-up (aka your calluses) without removing too much (finding that sweet spot!) leaving behind HEALTHY SMOOTH hands.
The CALICURE is presently being used by everyday Crossfitters to CrossFit Games level Athletes and Coaches, Olympic Gymnasts, Olympic Lifters, Golf, and Tennis Players, Rock Climbers, Martial Artists, Bodybuilders, Powerlifters, Strongmen and Strongwomen, even Executive Chefs Worldwide!
