treatment protocol
Application of bracenfix™ at the proximal nail is essential for all patients.
This is what reshapes and restores natural nail alignment.
Application of bracenfix™ at the distal aspect of the nail also helps to reshape the nail.
This is primarily used to resolve pain at the distal nail edge.
-
Initial Application Consultation
Apply bracenfix™.
Learn how to apply here: www.bracenfix.com/instructions
-
Review 2 days after initial application
This is to ensure bracenfix™ has been applied correctly.
-
Review every 4 weeks for a total of 30 weeks
Ensure nail re-growth and nail plate alignment is tracking correctly. Perform touch ups of the nail as required. This is where you may need to reapply/position a new distal brace. The proximal brace usually does not require touch ups or re-application in the first 3-4 months.
-
Completion of the 30 week cycle
When the nail re-growth and correction cycle has ended, examine and inspect the nail plate and sulci to ensure the nail is tracking correctly and no longer causing issues.
-
Repeat the process
If required, repeat the process, based on the severity of involuted nail.
Mild/Moderate Nail Involution : Apply 1 Cycles
Severe Nail Involution: Apply 1-2 Cycles
1 Cycle = 30 weeks
