B/S Brace Classic

B/S Brace Classic

Classic is 3 mm wide and is attached with a steel applicator.

B/S Brace

The B/S Brace is an ultra-flat, self-activating nail correction brace made of fiberglass-reinforced thermoset – developed in Germany, successfully applied in practices and studios worldwide.
All braces - Classic, Magnet, Magnet+, and Quick - are based on the same high-quality base material.
The only difference lies in the type of application:
Classic
Magnet
Magnet+
Quick

Classic

The B/S Brace Classic is applied using a steel applicator precisely placed on the nail and secured with special adhesive.
  • Proven standard method
  • precise handling
  • Universally applicable for all nail types
  • With the steel applicator

Magnet:

The B/S Brace Magnet is applied with the innovative Multi-Applicator applied. An integrated magnet in the applicator and a magnetic lacquer in the center of the brace allow for almost effortless application. Additionally, a center marking on the brace and applicator ensures precise positioning.

Magnet+:

Operates on the same principle as the magnetic brace, but is 4 mm wide (instead of 3 mm). It is particularly suitable for severely ingrown nails such as thick ingrown nails.

Quick

The B/S Brace Quick requires no separate applicator. It is pre-assembled on a flexible plastic carrier and applied directly to the nail in one step.

Each brace requires the same system components:

  • B/S Adhesive (special adhesive)
  • B/S Cleaner (cleaner for pre- and post-treatment)
  • B/S Activator (quick-drying accelerator for the adhesive)
The application instruments vary depending on the system - from steel applicator via Multi-applicator up to the pre-assembled Quick Solution.

Instructions – B/S Brace Classic Application

Points to consider before treatment
no foot baths
no disinfectants
no oiling or creaming
no nail polish remover (re-greasing oils)
Turn off wet drilling technique
The nail can be cleaned with 96 percent alcohol (ethanol).
Applying the brace – to the nail to be corrected – can be done without special preparation and in a short amount of time.
In technical terms, we call this “applying” or “the application”!
Typically, the B/S brace is applied as part of professional foot care.

Application – Step by Step

Step 1.
Preparation
01
01
Prepare nail
Crucial for the firm and secure attachment of the B/S brace is the filing and roughening of the nail plate. Thicker nails should be filed thinner. The nail surface is roughened with a diamond or corundum bur.
02
02
Determine Brace Size
The B/S brace must fit so that it spans the visible nail plate without protruding and is preferably not too short. The B/S brace is measured and glued with its rough side facing the nail.
Placement
The optimal effect of the B/S brace is achieved if it is glued 1–2 mm behind the pain-causing area.
03
03
Degreasing
After determining the B/S brace size, degrease the entire nail surface with a drop of B/S Cleaner on a swab.
Afterwards, dry the nail with the dry part of the swab.
04
04
Apply B/S Activator
Only coat the lateral nail edges with the B/S Activator pen. The activator is necessary for the adhesive to set securely and quickly.
05
05
Prepare the B/S Brace
Using a diamond or corundum burr, grind the ends (approx. 2–4 mm) of the B/S brace slightly thinner on the rough side. This allows the ends to be pressed more easily onto the nail and prevents them from lifting.
Step 2.
Application
01
01
Apply B/S adhesive
Take the selected B/S brace as shown and apply a small drop of B/S adhesive to the center.
Note:
This guide is based on standard size 18. The larger the B/S brace, the more adhesive is required.
Possible alternative:
Apply the adhesive directly to the nail and the activator to the brace.
02
02
Correct central fixation
Position the B/S brace 1 - 2 mm behind the painful area.
Gently press it onto the center of the nail for approximately 10 seconds, without slipping.
Our tip:
Stay calm! When applying, avoid slipping with the tweezers and refrain from working freehand. Support yourself on the patient's foot.
03
03
Securing the right and left sides
Now, press the B/S brace onto the right side of the nail plate using the non-slip, blunt end of the applicator – for approximately 10 seconds.
Note:
The ends of the B/S brace must lie flat against the nail and not protrude.
Repeat the process on the left side.
Step 3.
Adjustment
01
01
Adjust corrective forces individually
If your patient experiences a pulling pain or an uncomfortable tugging sensation after the B/S brace has been glued on, the tension is too strong.
In this case, you must carefully thin down the glued B/S brace in the end areas, or if that is not sufficient, thin it down overall.
Your advantage:
The B/S brace is corrected on the nail! The patient will feel this immediately. Protruding brace ends can be sanded down if they are less than 1 mm.
Step 4.
Completion and Aftercare
01
01
Clean nail with B/S cleaner
Before sealing, please remove the activator. To do this, apply a drop of B/S cleaner to a swab and wipe it over the nail plate. This will remove the previously applied activator.
Caution:
The activator must not come into contact with the adhesive, as this will cause the adhesive to dry out.
02
02
Final sealing
To achieve a particularly strong and water-resistant bond, seal the nail with the already applied B/S brace using the B/S adhesive. Quickly spread the B/S adhesive like nail polish over the entire nail surface.
03
05
Aftercare
After the sealant has dried (approx. 5 minutes), the usual nail care can be performed:
- Tamponading the nail fold
- Applying ointment dressings
- Nail polishing
- Foot baths
- Applying cream and oil
Removal of the B/S brace (after 4–6 weeks) for follow-up treatments
01
01
Removing the B/S brace
Ideally, use straight nail nippers to remove the B/S brace.
To do this, place the pliers at one end "between the brace and the nail".
This allows you to easily break the bond and carefully remove the brace from the nail. Afterwards, the adhesive, which acts as a sealant, can be milled off the nail.

Important Notes Beyond Application

Batch Number & Shelf Life
The adhesive's batch number is located on the lid and is the Best before date.
Example: Batch No. 1025 → BBD: October 2025
Handling the Adhesive
The adhesive brush do not wipe off on the bottle neck.
Otherwise, it will stick! This also ensures you have the perfect amount of adhesive.
Adhesive & Activator
Adhesive and activator must not avoid contact, the consequences are:
  • The adhesive's shelf life is reduced
  • The adhesive strings
  • The bottle's contents harden
Freeze adhesive!
The shelf life of the adhesive is extended by the time it spends in the freezer.
CAUTION!
The adhesive must be applied at room temperature, approximately 21–24 degrees Celsius. Please also ensure that the B/S adhesive is applied at a humidity of at least 40%, as it will no longer polymerize below 40%.
Test activator
Stroke the pen over a piece of paper; if it dispenses liquid, it is still functional. Important: Always close the activator tightly!
Tension too strong?
If the brace's tension is too strong after bonding, gently mill down the brace at both ends. If necessary, grind the entire brace thinner.
