Foot Wellbeing is pleased to offer BracenFix™, a gentle, non-surgical treatment option for people experiencing painful or recurring ingrown toenails.

BracenFix™ uses a small brace applied directly to the surface of the toenail. The brace works with the nail as it grows, helping to guide it towards a healthier shape and reduce pressure around the nail edges. Unlike surgical treatment, BracenFix™ does not require needles, anaesthetic or a recovery period, allowing you to continue wearing your usual footwear and carrying on with your daily activities.

Why choose BracenFix™?

BracenFix™ may be a suitable option if you're looking for a conservative approach to managing an ingrown toenail. Key benefits include:

• Non-surgical treatment

• Painless application

• No needles or anaesthetic

• No downtime or recovery period

• Continue your normal daily activities

• A gradual approach to improving the shape of the nail

What does treatment involve?

Your podiatrist will first assess your toenail to determine whether BracenFix™ is appropriate for you. If suitable, the brace is applied to the nail and reviewed periodically as the nail continues to grow.

Treatment is a gradual process, and the time required will depend on the individual nail. The BracenFix™ patient information illustrates treatment progressing through follow-up applications over several months; however, individual results and treatment timeframes can vary. BracenFix flyers
