Onyfix uses a hardened or soft composite that is cured by a LED light and acts like a brace on the nail.
This ensures that the nail remains in the correct shape as it grows from the base of the nail until the end.
The Onyfix will grow with the toenail and help the toenail grow in the correct position.
Before application:
- Remove all nail polish, shellac and artificial nails.
After application:
- The nail must remain DRY for 24 hours (no baths or showers during this time)
- Avoid wearing tight fitting shoes such as pointed shoes, skates or cleats.
- Nail polish can still be applied however, patients cannot use shellac or other acrylics on the toenails with Onyfix.
Note: The Composite is made up of Methylacrylate resin. If you have an allergy to this, Onyfix will not be suitable for you.
