Description
ONYSTER
CE medical device, class I, recommended for topical treatment of nail fungus of hands and feet. Thanks to its 40% urea-based composition, Onyster weakens only the diseased parts of the nail (due to the fungus) that ensure the adhesion of the nail to the nail bed. This weakening allows the selective detachment of the diseased part of the nail, facilitating its cutting and therefore its removal, in preparation for the subsequent antifungal treatment.How to use
Apply once a day to the infected nail the amount of ointment necessary to cover the entire surface. Protect with an occlusive plaster for 24 hours.
Repeat the application of the ointment and replace the patch every day, after removing the excess ointment from the previous application. Depending on the extent of the infection and the thickness of the nail, 1 to 3 weeks of treatment are necessary.
After 1-3 weeks of treatment, it is recommended to see a health care professional to cut the softened and detached part of the nail with nail scissors. Once the infected part of the nail has been removed, the antifungal treatment should be continued.
