In this lecture, students will explore the fundamental aspects of ingrown toenails, including their primary causes, common risk factors, and early warning signs. The lesson also covers classification of severity, allowing students to distinguish between mild, moderate, and advanced cases.
Students will learn how to perform a step-by-step clinical assessment, evaluate nail shape and soft tissue changes, and identify contraindications before selecting the appropriate treatment method. By the end of the lecture, learners will be able to confidently diagnose an ingrown toenail and determine whether non-invasive correction, such as the COMBIPED system, is suitable.
In this lecture, students will gain a clear understanding of what an ingrown toenail resection is and in which clinical situations it is recommended. The lesson explains the differences between conservative and surgical approaches, helping learners understand when resection becomes necessary.
Students will be guided through the general steps of how a resection is performed, including preparation, anesthesia, removal technique, and post-procedure care. The lecture also highlights potential risks, contraindications, and common patient concerns.
By the end of this session, learners will be able to explain the purpose of the procedure, recognize appropriate indications, and describe the basic workflow of an ingrown toenail resection.
In this lecture, students will learn how to properly prepare the nail and surrounding tissue before applying the COMBIPED correction system. The lesson covers essential hygiene protocols, tool selection, and the correct approach to cleaning, thinning, and shaping the nail plate.
Students will also understand how to evaluate the curvature, thickness, and condition of the nail to ensure a safe and effective application. Special attention is given to avoiding common preparation mistakes that may compromise the treatment outcome.
By the end of this lecture, learners will be able to create optimal working conditions for COMBIPED application, perform thorough nail preparation, and ensure patient comfort and safety throughout the process.
In this lecture, students will be introduced to the COMBIPED correction system, one of the most effective non-invasive methods for treating ingrown toenails. The lesson explains the components of the system, how the mechanism works, and why it provides immediate relief and long-term correction.
Students will follow a detailed, step-by-step demonstration of the complete COMBIPED application process, including nail preparation, wire activation, positioning, fixation, and adjustment techniques. Special attention is given to common mistakes, safety considerations, and individual nail variations.
By the end of this lecture, students will be able to confidently apply the COMBIPED system in practice, choose the correct tension level, and adapt the method to different nail shapes and degrees of curvature.
In this lecture, students will review several real-life examples of COMBIPED corrections, allowing them to understand how the system performs in different clinical situations. Each case highlights specific nail characteristics, degrees of curvature, and treatment challenges.
Students will see step-by-step comparisons of the initial condition, the application process, and the final results. The lecture also explains why certain techniques were chosen and how adjustments were made to achieve optimal outcomes.
By the end of this lecture, students will be able to analyze correction cases, recognize patterns, and select the most effective application strategy for various nail types and levels of ingrown toenail severity.
Are you a podiatrist, pedicurist, or foot care specialist looking to expand your skills with modern, non-invasive solutions for ingrown toenails? This comprehensive course will teach you how to safely and effectively use the COMBIPED system — one of the most innovative and reliable corrective methods available today.
Throughout the course, you will learn the complete process of assessment, preparation, application, and follow-up care using the COMBIPED brace. You will understand how this system works, when it is indicated, and how to ensure optimal results for every patient. The course includes practical demonstrations, detailed explanations, and professional guidance to help you master the technique with confidence.
We will cover essential topics such as the anatomy of the nail, causes of ingrown toenails, contraindications, hygiene and safety standards, as well as tips for managing different nail shapes and degrees of curvature. You will also learn how to communicate with patients, reduce discomfort, and provide long-term preventive care.
