6.2 General treatment information
Any inflammatory areas must be treated.
Once the nail has adapted the form of the brace, the brace may
become loose and may fall off. If that happens, it is recommended to
remove the brace and re-adjust it proximally to the previous
position.
The tension caused by the brace is helpful in case of an
onychomycosis (ringworm of the nail), since it provides better access
to the areas affected that can be treated more easily.
Ask the patient to show up again for control depending on the
severity of the condition:
- after 1-3 days in case of a severe condition
- after 3-6 days in case of mild condition
Please provide the patient with any relevant information
- Provide information about the method of action and any possible
undesired side effects of the brace
- Try to explore the causes for ingrown nails together with the
patient and come up with a proposal how to manage the problem in
the future.
These instructions should be used in order to avoid any
accidents and injuries and all notes and rules regarding
disinfection must be observed!
