RUCK Nail Braces: Gentle and Long-Lasting Nail Correction System
Whether it’s ingrown or claw-like nails, flat or ingrown toenails – with stainless steel nail braces or customisable gel braces, you can help your patients quickly and gently. As a suitable option compared to surgical procedures, the brace technique quickly restores feet to top condition. You can find suitable accessories, materials, and information on nail correction system at HELLMUT RUCK.
Nail braces in podiatry: one principle, many methods
If nails become ingrown or exert pressure on the nail fold, this is usually highly painful. To alleviate inflammatory processes and counteract the formation of granulation tissue, RUCK’s barely noticeable nail braces have become the standard. Whilst classic metal nail braces are optimum for acute treatment with immediate effect, adhesive braces are considered especially gentle and pain-free.
Discover half and full braces, adhesive or spring braces and make use of the lever and spring forces of these indispensable aids. Besides the various nail brace designs, innovative technologies such as BLUE LIGHT professional deliver a maximum choice. This allows you to perform exactly the treatment each nail needs until it is fully restored.
You can find these nail braces at RUCK
Expertise meets a comprehensive selection. With HELLMUT RUCK, you can provide the right treatment for every nail problem – step by step. These stainless steel or gel nail braces reliably correct nails that have lost their shape with minimal discomfort:
- ORTOGRIP professional: The classic choice for acute treatment with immediate effect. The three-part brace generates strong tension thanks to winding the loop together and subsequently tightening the action parts. The nail edges are lifted, immediately relieving pressure on the nail fold. The different colours of the handle can help you to discover the respective wire thickness at a glance.
- GOLDSTADT professional adhesive brace: Thanks to its gold coating, this brace has anti-inflammatory properties and is available in five different widths. It delivers comfortable pressure relief thanks to a force of leverage similar to that of a seesaw. This type of brace is also available as a half brace, full brace, and classic brace.
- GOLDSTADT professional half brace
- GOLDSTADT professional full brace
- GOLDSTADT professional Classic brace
- Ross-Fraser: Imported to Germany yet in the 1960s, the Ross-Fraser brace is still regarded today as the gold standard in nail correction systems. Typical features of this model, which is used as a training brace in podiatry training, include its spring steel wire in various thicknesses and its precise, customisable fit.
- BLUE LIGHT professional: As a new-generation modelling brace, this nail correction aid represents innovative technology. The gel applied to the nail cures thanks to LED light, gently shaping the nail. As no wire is required, this method is optimum for people with diabetes and other high-risk patients.
- Unguisan: With the Unguisan® Blue Light method, too, the nail brace is permanently secured to the nail plate. As with RUCK BLUE LIGHT professional, light-curing UV gel and a special Blue Light LED lamp are used.
- B/S Brace: Powerful yet gentle, B/S braces correct even severely ingrown toenails. The flat leaf spring made of high-performance plastic distributes its spring force optimally across the entire nail. Its simple and efficient set of directions is also practical.
