How does the podofix brace work?

1. The plastic pad of the podofix glue-on brace is individually adapted to the patient's nail shape by simply bending it.
2. The brace can then be glued onto the nail without tension or pressure.
3. The stepless twisting of the incorporated loop slightly lifts the nail edges and relieves the surrounding tissue.
4. After shortening the protruding wire, the gel depot of the podofix is filled with PediGel and sealed in a few seconds.

FAQ

Can a corrective nail brace prevent the need for surgery?
In many cases, yes. Nail brace therapy has proven to be a largely painless method for treating ingrown nails, making it especially suitable for children and individuals with diabetes. Unlike surgical procedures, this approach typically allows patients to maintain their normal daily activities.

Is the treatment painful?
Applying the brace is usually barely noticeable. However, if the surrounding skin is inflamed, some discomfort may occur. Anesthesia is typically not necessary. Most patients experience immediate relief in the nail fold once the brace is activated.

Can I continue playing sports during the treatment?
In most cases, the nail brace won't interfere with your daily activities, including sports and water-based exercises. However, if there is significant inflammation, it's best to avoid physical activity until the area has fully healed. If you participate in competitive sports, it's advisable to consult your Podiatrist/Foot care professional for personalised guidance.

How long will the brace need to stay on the nail?
The duration varies depending on the individual case, but typically the brace remains on the nail for 4 to 12 weeks, moving forward as the nail grows. It may be repositioned and reactivated periodically until the nail returns to its normal, healthy growth pattern.
