INTRODUCTION 

 
 

Application range 
 

The  podofix  active  glue-on  brace  can  be  used  for  practically  all  kinds  of 
deformed, painfully ingrown and curled-up nails. In addition, use of the podofix 
brace is recommended for treatment of hypergranulation and corns in the nail 
fold.  The  podofix  brace  is  also  suitable  for  cosmetic  correction  of  misshaped 
nails. 
As preparatory treatment for application of the 3TO brace or other wire braces 
a  podofix  brace  can  initially  be  used  if  the  nail  fold  is  still  too  narrow  for 
insertion of the wire hooks. 
 
 

Duration of treatment 
 

Depending on the conditions, the podofix active glue-on brace remains on the 
nail  for  a  period  of  from  two  weeks  to  about  two  months  and  can  then  be 
replaced by new braces until the desired therapy effect is achieved. 
 
 

Placing the brace 
 

The  podofix  active  glue-on  brace  is  attached  in  or just  behind  the  area  of  the 
nail from which pain emanates. The size of the brace should be selected in such 
a way that the brace can be placed as close as possible to the nail rim on the 
side with the pain but in no case protruding beyond it. If the suction effect of a 
brace  does  not  suffice  then  two  podofix  braces  can  be  attached  behind  each 
other on a nail.
