Onyfix is the newest technology used to treat ingrown or pincer toenails using a composite nail brace that reshapes the nail and ensures natural nail growth. At Oregon Institute of Foot Care, Dr. Manson will create and adapt an individualized system that treats your ingrown or pincer toenail. The entire process is pain-free, from start to finish.
Ingrown or pincer toenails can be painful and cause many complications. Onyfix provides an alternative solution for patients who may not be suited for ingrown toenail surgery; needle phobia, diabetic, pregnant or breastfeeding, age, vascular disease, etc.
How Onyfix Works
Onyfix uses a hardened composite material which is cured by a LED light and acts like a brace on the nail plate. This ensures that the nail remains in the correct shape as it grows from the base of the nail until the end, thus reshaping the pathway for the new nail growth.
The Onyfix system is cured to your toenail for about 2-3 months. When the toenail grows, the Onyfix will grow with the toenail and helps the toenail grow in the correct position. During this period additional bands can be applied to the toenail to ensure that the desired result is obtained.
Dr. Manson recommends 2-4 bands with about 3 month appointment intervals. Once complete, the composite is removed and the nail continues to grow naturally.
What is Onyfix?
Onyfix is a new nail correction system that is used to treat and prevent ingrown toenails with a conservative care mindset. Onyfix has other uses such as fixing a split toenail, detached toenail, after partial nail avulsion or total nail avulsion, restoration of the toenail.
