The B/S Brace:

gentle power against ingrown nails

01/02
02/02

Ingrown nails are among the most common foot problems and significantly impair your patients' well-being.

Pain when walking, pressure points in shoes, inflammation, and pus are typical symptoms.

With the B/S Brace offer your patients a gentle and effective treatment, which specifically helps with ingrown and ingrowing nails - without surgery, without downtime, and without daily life restrictions.

Ideal for Podiatrists and foot care specialists, who value professional, innovative, and patient-friendly nail correction.

About the B/S Brace – Technology, Material, and Quality Promise

With the B/S Brace, ingrown nails can be gently and continuously lifted from the nail fold. The nail and nail bed are straightened with consistent treatment, at 4 to 6-week intervals. Patients are usually pain-free immediately after treatment begins.
Material
The B/S Spange is a transparent and patented leaf spring, less than 0.3 mm thin, made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, which is specially manufactured for the treatment of ingrown or growing-in toenails.
Quality Promise
Our high-precision manufacturing guarantees constant corrective forces for every single B/S Spange: Every B/S Spange is accurate to two thousandths of a millimeter manufactured and magneto-inductively controlled. This way, professionals can be sure that they can always rely on the same quality and effect can trust the B/S Spanges.
We have been manufacturing our B/S Spanges at our company location in Germany since 1987. Quality assurance and precision are our top priorities - every production is precisely documented and continuously monitored to maximum reliability to ensure for daily practice.

Physics B/S Spange:
What's behind it?

The Counter-Pressure Principle
The pressure & counter-pressure principle utilizes a precise physical mechanism:
The B/S brace is applied to the nail under tension, creating targeted pressure on the nail surface. In response, the elastic brace generates continuous counter-pressure (restoring force).

If a nail edge grows too deeply into the tissue, this counter-pressure gently lifts and straightens the nail edge. This directly corrects the cause of the pain without stressing the surrounding tissue.
Symmetrically curved nail:
The strongest curvature is in the center of the nail. The counter-force acts precisely at this highest point, gently lifting the nail edges and distributing the pressure evenly.
Asymmetrically curved nail:
If the nail is unevenly curved, the counter-force automatically shifts to the area that requires the most correction. This precisely balances the nail curvature.

How it works
of the B/S brace

The B/S brace applies this physical law directly in practice:

In summary, the pressure & counter-pressure principle ensures that the B/S brace precisely, gently, and continuously corrects, as the nail grows – the optimal combination of physical effect and continuous application.

01
The B/S brace is designed to exert gentle pressure on the nail once applied.
02
In response, a precise counter-pressure is generated, gently lifting the nail edges and immediately reducing the painful pressure in the nail fold.
03
This principle effectively and painlessly restores the nail to its natural flat shape.
04
The effect is dynamic: the B/S brace automatically adapts to the individual nail curvature, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical.

The Role of the B/S Brace

The B/S brace corrects the nail gently and without surgery.
It relieves pressure on the nail fold and gradually guides the nail back to its natural shape.
Important note on application:
As a manufacturer, we supply the B/S brace exclusively to professional users.
The application possibilities depend on the respective qualification:

Podiatry /
Medical Foot Care

This involves the treatment of already ingrown nails and application for inflammations within the scope of medical practice.

Cosmetic Foot Care Specialists

Activities are limited to preventive care on healthy feet.
Application for ingrown nails is only permitted if there are no inflammations or pathological changes.

Before & After

This is just a small selection of outstanding treatment successes achieved with various B/S brace systems. To achieve the desired final result, a new B/S brace should be applied every four weeks. 

Extreme Pincer Nail

The patient was treated with the B/S brace Classic, which has a width of 3 mm.

To achieve the desired final result, a total of nine B/S brace applications were performed, each four weeks apart.

Thick involuted nail

The patient was treated with the B/S brace Magnet+, which has a width of 4 mm.
To achieve the desired final result, a total of five B/S brace applications were performed, each four weeks apart.

Why doesn't the B/S brace hold?

The adhesion of the B/S brace can be impaired for various reasons:

Slipping and repeated readjustment during pressing: Repeated slipping and readjustment during pressing weakens the adhesive's bond. Precise positioning is therefore crucial. Support yourself on the patient's foot.

Expired B/S adhesive: If the B/S adhesive has expired (after 9 months), we recommend purchasing new adhesive, as expired adhesive loses its effectiveness. The batch number of the adhesive is on the cap and indicates the expiration date. Example: Batch number 1025, Expiration date: October 2025. Tip! Freeze the adhesive! Storing the adhesive in the freezer extends its shelf life.

Too little B/S adhesive used: Too little B/S adhesive can result in insufficient adhesion of the brace. Ensure you use enough adhesive.

Insufficient thinning of the brace ends: If the tension of the brace is too strong after application, simply carefully thin both ends of the brace. If necessary, thin the entire B/S brace. Precise correction at the ends of the B/S brace prevents it from lifting off the nail.

Using too much B/S cleaner: Using too much B/S cleaner when cleaning the nail can impair adhesion. One drop on the swab is sufficient to clean the nail plate.

Diseased Nails: B/S braces should not be applied to diseased nails, e.g., in cases of fungal infections, psoriasis, onycholysis, etc.

Drying out of bottle contents / Stringing: The B/S adhesive can lose its effectiveness if it comes into contact with the B/S Activator (quick dryer) and becomes stringy.

Can I apply a B/S Brace without training?

Yes, you can apply the B/S Brace without prior training, as it does not penetrate the nail body and is only applied to the nail plate. However, we offer training videos for the different systems, such as Classic, Magnet, Magnet+, and Quick, as well as free instructions on our website.

How long does the B/S Brace's tension last?

The corrective force of the B/S Brace lasts approximately four weeks. The B/S Brace should be replaced every four weeks until the nail has achieved its healthy and flat shape.

How much can I charge for a B/S Brace application?

You can charge the same amount for an application as for conventional foot care.
