Die B/S Spange:

Gentle relief for ingrown toenails

Ingrown toenails are usually caused by shoes that are too tight or improper trimming. To avoid infection, patients should refrain from attempting home remedies and instead visit a specialist practice immediately. As a foot care expert, you can identify the problem right away and offer a gentle alternative to surgery from the very start.

In practice, the foot specialist applies the B/S brace with a precise fit in just a few minutes. For patients, this means the treatment is completely painless, provides immediate relief to the tissue, and allows for full mobility in everyday life right away.

With professional guidance, the nail will gradually grow back into its natural shape. To ensure it stays that way, patients should make sure to trim their nails straight and wear shoes with plenty of room.

About the B/S Spange

Technology, Materials and Quality Commitment
Ingrown toenails can be gently and continuously lifted from the nail fold using the B/S Spange.
With consistent treatment at 4 to 6-week intervals, the nail and nail bed are gradually straightened.
As a result, patients are usually pain-free almost immediately after starting treatment.
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 consistent corrective force in every application: each B/S brace is crafted to an accuracy of two thousandths of a millimeter and verified through magnetic-inductive testing. Continuous monitoring and comprehensive documentation have ensured maximum reliability since 1987—so you can trust in the same top-tier quality with every B/S brace. Made in Germany, since the very first B/S brace.

Physik B/S Spange:

What's behind it?
The Counter-Pressure Principle
The B/S brace utilizes the flexible restorative force of its glass-fiber-reinforced plastic: when applied to the nail with a slight curve, the material naturally strives to return to its flat shape. This gentle counter-pressure carefully lifts the nail edges, immediately relieving the painful pressure on the tissue. As the nail grows, the brace is replaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
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.

The benefits at a glance

01
Immediate pain relief: The pressure in the nail fold subsides as soon as it is applied.
02
This creates a precise counter-pressure that gently lifts the nail edges, immediately relieving the painful pressure in the nail fold.
03
This principle effectively and painlessly guides the nail back to its natural, flat shape.
04
The effect is dynamic: the B/S brace automatically adapts to the individual curvature of the nail, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical.

The Role of the B/S Spange

The B/S Spange 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 Spange 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.

Why doesn't the B/S Spange hold?

The adhesion of the B/S Spange 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 Spange. Precise correction at the ends of the B/S Spange 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 Spange 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 Spange without training?

Yes, you can apply the B/S Spange 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 Spange's tension last?

The corrective force of the B/S Spange lasts approximately four weeks. The B/S Spange 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 Spange application?

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