The Gel Tube is an innovative device designed to support the treatment of ingrown toenails. It works by guiding the nail to grow in the correct direction while reducing pain and preventing inflammation. The treatment is remarkably straightforward - simply attach the tube and secure it with tape.

Pain relief, in particular, is significantly faster compared to conventional methods.

Sarah's Story
"I struggled with ingrown toenails for years. I tried wire treatments and plastic plates at orthopedic clinics, but the relief was always temporary. When a friend recommended Gel Tube treatment, I was skeptical at first. To my surprise, the deeply embedded nail began healing beautifully within two weeks. The pain I'd grown used to simply vanished. I'm now able to walk comfortably again - something I'd given up hope of doing."
Mike's Experience
"I've been using Gel Tube treatment for seven years now. Initially, I tried wire treatments at nail care specialists, but they required maintenance every two months, and the wire would often snag or come loose. While I could apply Gel Tubes myself, I visit this clinic for my bunion treatment too. The Gel Tube only needs maintenance every six months, making it worth the trip from Ibaraki. Just be careful when trimming your nails - the tube can sometimes come off. Compared to wire treatments, it's much more user-friendly with fewer restrictions on daily activities."
