Injections, in general, is an experience most patients do not like to remember. When it comes to ingrown toenails, the standard procedure is a partial nail avulsion (PNA) or total nail avulsion (TNA). This involves numbing up the toe with a local anesthetic, which is usually the most unpleasant part of the procedure. For high-risk patients such as those with brittle diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, the wound that is created by a PNA or TNA may not heal and become infected.
Onyfix is a revolutionary nail correction system, which straightens out a highly incurvated nail to reduce the pressure of the nail on the skin, thereby reducing the risk of an ingrown nail. This is completely non-invasive, no needles, no anesthetic required.
