Introducing MedFlex: A Nail Restorating System
MedFlex
a medical flexible toenail restoration gel for chiropodists, podiatrists, and doctors for in-office application that restores the appearance of a patient’s natural nails.
What is it?
MedFlex is a painless, in-office procedure designed to restore the appearance of damaged nails affected by trauma or fungal infections. It uses a flexible yet durable composite resin that bonds to the natural nail, offering an immediate cosmetic improvement. The resin creates a flexible, non-porous nail that allows the remaining natural nails to grow. The MedFlex nail is durable and unaffected by nail polishes or detergents. This cosmetic treatment quickly improves the look of your nail(s) so you’ll never have to worry about showing your toes in sandals again!
Why the MedFlex Nail Restorating System?
- Few options are available for patients with nail disorders
- Oral antifungal therapy is expensive and often not a viable option for many patients, and doesn’t always improved the appearance of the nail
- The non-porous, flexible resin creates a healthier environment for your natural nail to grow than many other alternatives
What are the benefits?
- Doesn’t irritate the skin, hypoallergenic
- Antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal resin will not cause infection to spread
- Only adheres to the natural nail
- Won’t bond to skin, allowing a natural edge to be fabricated
- Allows patients to use antimicrobial solutions to treat fungal infections around the nail
- Provides for cosmetically pleasing nails
- MedFlex nail is durable and flexible
