THE PODOFIX ACTIVE GLUE-ON BRACE The podofix active glue-on brace consists of an elastic plastic pad that sticks to the nail and of an activation wire that tightens the brace after it is glued on. After attaching it the wire lies in the indentation of the plastic pad and can be sealed smooth.
HOW TO AVOID PROBLEMS WHEN USING In order to avoid mistakes please note the following tips before initially using the brace. Softened nail Please note that the nail may not be softened up before the brace is applied. Foot baths and application of disinfectants or corn softeners to the nail should be avoided prior to application.
ATTACHING THE PODOFIX BRACE 1. Preparation Polish the nail For gluing on the brace the nail must have as even and smooth a surface as possible. If needed, it can be smoothed or slightly roughened with a cutter or a soft nail file.
2. Gluing on the brace Apply the glue ! The glue is only applied to the brace and never to the nail. ! If too much glue is applied the brace will not stick to the nail. Wipe off both sides of the brush on the bottle rim. Apply a fine coat of the glue on the whole undersurface of the brace.
Then the brace can be pressed down with the tension tool especially in the areas of the edges. ! Wait two minutes before activating so that the glue hardens. 3. Activate the brace Turn the loop Insert the tension tool into the wire loop. Turn the tension tool at least one and at most two complete rotations until the desired tension is attained.
4. Cover up the wire connection To seal the podofix brace use the spatula to apply a drop PediGel sealant mould into indentation of the podofix brace. Turn the UV microlamp on by turning the front of the torch clockwise and harden the PediGel by beaming the UV lamp on it for 20 seconds.
Keep out of the reach of children. General safety pointers The podofix nail correction brace is intended to be used only once. Read these Instructions carefully before using it for the first time and comply with all its suggestions.
