Healthy nail growth thanks to ORTOGRIP professional

On average, nails grow around 0.05 millimetres per day – unfortunately, however, not always as they should. To restore curled or claw-like nails, flat or ingrown toenails to their proper shape, the tried-and-tested ORTOGRIP professional braces are often the best choice. Thanks to their reliable lever and spring action, these classic nail braces promise rapid relief for the nail fold.

The acute brace with immediate effect is available in various wire thicknesses. With their systematic colour coding, the braces in the ORTOGRIP professional series are yet instantly discoverable. Once fitted by a foot care professional, the nail brace remains on the nail plate for a period of four to six weeks. Even in cases of inflammation in the nail fold area, ORTOGRIP professional braces can be used without hesitation.

ORTOGRIP professional: How the successful method works

Ingrown toenails usually exert strong pressure on the nail fold. ORTOGRIP professional counters this with its tried-and-tested technology. The three-part brace features a coloured plastic handle and two wire ‘action parts’. Thanks to winding the handle together, the wire ends secured beneath the nail plate exert their full lever effect. The edges of the nail are lifted, immediately relieving pressure on the nail fold. The pain previously felt subsides quickly.

Good to know: The light pressure from socks or shoes causes the brace to move in a spring-loaded manner. This is intentional and supports the treatment. The choice of wire thickness depends on the thickness of the nail in question.
