SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT
A podologist can provide customised orthoplastics, orthonyxias and oncoplastics.
​
Orthoplastics: a custom-made silicone toe brace to protect and/or correct deformities of the toes. It can provide relief and alleviate the pain of a callus eventually reducing its size. It is also recommended to treat bunions to slow development of the deformity and ease discomfort.
​
Orthonyxia: a custom-made nail brace to prevent recurrence of ingrown toenails or to reduce pain from an increasingly curved toenail. It is a metal pin that corrects the nail and restores its normal curvature, making it less susceptible to certain nail disorders.
​
Oncoplastics: medical reconstruction of a previously traumatised nail.
