The Podiatry & Biomechanics Co. are now offering the Onyfix® nail correction system. Onyfix® is a versatile and innovative product that enables completely painless treatment of almost all forms of involuted and ingrown toenails.
Our trained Podiatrists apply the system individually and fix it to your nail, which is then brought back into its natural shape as it grows The whole process is pain-free, during application and throughout the entire treatment.
There are no known contraindications to using Onyfix®. Onyfix® does not make direct skin contact, and there have been no reported allergic reactions. By decreasing the curvature of the nail through its own natural physiological growth, Onyfix® is safe for even the highest risk patients (children, pregnant women and even patients with peripheral neuropathy who are not candidates for a surgical matrixectomy).
There is no down-time. Once the Onyfix® compound has been cured with the provided LED light, your are free to do whatever activity you would like to including running, swimming or dancing – you name it, you can participate.
Yes, provided that you are using a nail polish that can be removed with acetone or liquid nail polish remover. A gel or shellac polish that requires mechanical debridement or filing to be removed should not be used as the Onyfix® strip may come off during mechanical debridement.
Absolutely, once the Onyfix® compound is cured, your patient can bathe, shower and swim as they like.
This is patient dependent. Clinical studies indicate that a 12-month treatment protocol shows positive results – Eckhard Hanisch, Physiological and painless treatment of ingrown and rolled toenails, 2018.
