The wire loop is the key element that activates the ORTOGRIP professional. It is positioned so that each of squared corners sits in one of the S-curves with the wire ends of the eyelets pointing upwards. The wire loops are available in thicknesses of 0.25, 0.3, 0.4 mm. When choosing the thickness, you should choose one which is thinner or the same as that of the selected brace, but should not be thicker!

The ORTOGRIP professional loop is an essential part of the application of the ORTOGRIP professional brace - more than that, it is the crucial element for its activation. The loop is hooked into the separate S-curves of the two brace halves. By twisting the loop with a coiling hook instrument and the two action parts being pulled together, a strong tension is built up. This force lifts up the nail edges. The loop is available in three different strengths. As a guide, the thickness of the loop can be smaller or the same as that of the selected brace, but should not be larger.
Activation refers to the creation of tension. It occurs when the loop is twisted and the action parts are connected. The more the loop is twisted, the more the brace is activated.
The detached loop forms an oval/round type together with the ends of the action part. This need to be protected. A 2-component plastic for nail prosthetics is used for this purpose (e.g. acrylic-based). The viscous compound is moulded into a “button” that encases the ends.
The squared corners of the loop are important for the formation of a precise tension distribution during twisting. The corner of the loop must sit exactly in the S-curve of the brace before it is twisted. The hooks inserted at the edge of the nail exert a tension on the entire nail plate. How much force is transferred also depends on the angle between the wire leg and the longitudinal axis of the nail plate. At a 90° angle, the total tension is achieved.
The force of leverage is used when lifting the nail plate on one side. For this purpose, a pivot point is defined on the nail surface and tension is exerted via a long lever, which supports the bending force on the short leg. The elasticity results from the material properties, the correcting forces and finally from the activation of the brace thanks to bending (spring force). An important element is the button-like covering of the wire ends. Thanks to pressure from above (upper side of the shoe), a springy motion of the brace is created. This serves the desired treatment support: the button sets the brace in motion when walking and as a result leads to spring force.
Based on the proven VHO Osthold principle of this 3-part brace, the tension can be precisely controlled by twisting the central loop. The coloured plastic handle facilitates the fitting of the brace. Discover all the possibilities in this video and deepen your learning.
