INGROWN TOENAIL CLIPS

The titanium buckle is a modern and minimally invasive method of dealing with the problem of ingrown nails. Like all other nail clamps, the titanium clamp is designed to influence the shape of the nail plate and modify the nail plate to heal ingrown nails and prevent the development and worsening of this ailment in the future.

The titanium buckle is made of a flexible arch, made of a nickel-titanium alloy, the thickness of which is selected according to the patient's needs, depending on the degree of ingrowth / screwing in of the nail and the thickness of the nail plate. Titanium buckle attached with dental composers, which allows you to work with nails where it is difficult to attach hook buckles, i.e. for children's nails, very small or very weak nails, and for nails that are strongly screwed in.

Putting the brace on does not interfere with everyday activities, both those requiring moderate physical effort and sports. The titanium buckle is aesthetic, it does not catch the eye, and it does not hook socks and tights.

VHO-Osthold Perfect buckles are three-piece buckles made of surgical steel - a material used in orthodontic appliances. These are the most advanced and most effective clamps in severe cases (tubular nails, after surgical interventions). They can be put on even when the nail fold is inflamed.

The VHO Osthold buckle is attached under the edges of the nail, where it begins to grow into the body with its edges. The ends of the wire are properly shaped and adjusted to the thickness of the nail plate on both sides of the finger. The lifting force on the side edges of the nail can be easily adjusted, thanks to which there is an immediate relief of the epidermal labrum, and thus immediate relief. Putting on such braces requires very high qualifications and many hours of training.

The buckle is held on the nail until it completely grows back with a new track. They do not disturb walking and do not limit mobility. Before you go home, the podiatrist will tell you how to put on anti-inflammatory tampons at home.

Sulci-Protektor tubes are recommended in the event of a slight nail ingrowth, caused e.g. by improper clipping. This method allows you to control the nail growth path. The tube, cut on one side, is slid over the properly prepared nail edge with the help of an orthosis and fixed with a nail reconstruction mass. It is a tiny, almost invisible "gutter". Thanks to it, the nail must grow along the tube and not down or to the side. Often used together with clasps.

Tamponade is a very important element of correction treatment of ingrown nails. Tamponade involves the placement of a soft dressing material impregnated with an antiseptic or antibiotic fluid in the proximal nail fold. This dressing broadens the space between the nail plate and the nail fold. In the case of inflammation, the tamponade absorbs exudate and sebum from the nail shaft. After sufficient training, the patient can apply such dressing independently at home.
