INSTALLING THE COMBIped

BRACE

Preparing the nails and cleaning the nail fold

Remove any non-adhesive parts from the nail

surface. Smoothen extremely rough nails or slightly

roughen extremely smooth nails.

Clean the nail fold and prepare the area such as to

enable the hook to be fixed under the nail edge

before installing the COMBIped

braces.

Disinfecting the brace

Disinfect the wire of the COMBIped

brace before

bending the hook and also each time before you

install it by wiping with the alcohol swab.

Selecting the right brace

Please choose the right brace size depending on the

nail thickness (force needed).

soft:

Wire thickness of 0.25 mm – for soft and normal

nails

medium:

Wire thickness of 0.30 mm – for normal and thick

nails

hard:

Wire thickness of 0.35 mm – for extremely rigid and

thick nails

> The brace thickness "hard" should be used for very thick and

rigid nails only, therefore, please use "soft" and "medium" for

most of the applications!

CAUTION: There is danger of the nail to come off when using a brace

with too much tension. That is why moderate tension should be applied

only. If the patient feels too much tension, remove the brace and replace

it by the next lower tension level.
