Overview

An ingrown toenail can be corrected without surgery using several methods: tamponade (a soft barrier under the nail edge), a B/S brace, or the Podofix orthonyxia brace for stubborn, recurrent cases. We choose the method by the stage and shape of the nail; CO2 laser is available for inflamed tissue. Contraindications apply.

Benefits

  • Non-surgical, nail-preserving correction
  • Relief from pressure and pain
  • Choice of method by severity
  • Lower recurrence with bracing

How it goes

The specialist assesses the stage of ingrowth and selects tamponade, a brace or Podofix, treating inflammation if present and planning follow-up.

How it works

Mild cases respond to tamponade and correct nail-cutting technique; recurrent or curved nails do better with a brace (B/S or Podofix) that gently lifts the edges over weeks. Inflamed granulation tissue can be treated with CO2 laser.

  • Tamponade for mild cases
  • B/S brace correction
  • Podofix orthonyxia for recurrent cases
  • CO2 laser for inflamed tissue
  • Method matched to the nail

Preparation & aftercare

Before the procedure
  • Have a podologist consultation before the procedure.
  • Keep feet clean; wear comfortable shoes on the day.
  • Remove nail polish in advance.
  • Tell the specialist about diabetes, allergies or active infection.
After the procedure
  • Keep the feet clean and dry.
  • Follow the specialist's home-care advice.
  • Avoid tight footwear and long soaking.
  • Use recommended creams/antiseptics as advised.
  • Keep to the maintenance schedule.

FAQ

? What's the difference from Podofix?

Podofix is one brace option; for milder cases tamponade or a B/S brace may be enough — we match the method to the nail.

? Is surgery needed?

Usually not — most cases are corrected non-surgically; surgery is a last resort.

? Is it painful?

The corrections are low-pain and need no anaesthesia.

? How long until it's better?

Pressure pain often eases quickly; full correction with a brace takes weeks to months.
