A cutting apparatus having a ratcheting and non-ratcheting configuration for cutting food. The cutting apparatus includes a pair of handles with a cutting blade having a toothed portion and a non-toothed portion. In the ratcheting configuration, the cutting blade is held in position by a position holder, engaging the toothed portion of the cutting apparatus. In the non-ratcheting configuration, the position holder engages a separate non-toothed portion of the cutting blade. Additionally, in the non-ratcheting configuration, a bottom bar and top mechanism bar allows for the cutting apparatus to be locked into the non-ratcheting configuration.

Cutting apparatuses

Methods for treating fungal infections of the hand or foot use applications of low level laser energy to the infected area to inhibit fungal growth. A laser device is used to produce one or more low-level laser beams, typically in the range of 400-800 nm emanated at a power of less than 1 watt. The laser light is scanned across the infected area for a predetermined duration. Preferably, the duration is between about 10 and 30 minutes, so that at least 0.5 joules of laser energy is applied. Preferably, about 10 joules of laser energy is applied. The application may be repeated, and is preferably repeated once, about five weeks after the first application. A topical medication, such as an antifungal cream, may be used in conjunction with the laser light to speed up fungal removal.
