Oral Sedation For Nail Surgery

We are now able to offer Oral Sedation for patients who are undergoing nail surgery.

This form of sedation is particularly suitable for patients who have a needle phobia as it is administered in the form of Temazepam Elixer.

Your sedation will be administered by Paula Clinch our qualified sedation nurse.

Typically we ask you to arrive at the surgery 2 hours prior to treatment.

On arrival you will be made comfortable in a quiet room where your blood pressure and pulse will be recorded before the first dose is administered, you will rest for 20 minutes and subsequently a second dose will be given.

We ask you to rest again before being moved to the treatment room.

A local anaesthetic will then be given. You will feel little or no pain.

We request that you have nothing to eat or drink for 6 hours before sedation, this allows the elixir to be absorbed into your system quickly.

You will need to escorted from the surgery after your treatment and ideally your escort should be able to stay with you for the rest of the day.

Temazepam elixer is a particulary agreeable form of sedation  as it has a retrograde amnesic effect, which means you remember nothing of the procedure.

Testimonials

" I would like to say how sedation enabled me to relax during treatment and feel no pain."

Mr L.  Walton on THames

" On the day of surgery I arrived 2 hours before my treatment and was administered the medication by Paula, the next thing I recall was being told that my father had arrived to pick me up, the treatment had been completed without me being aware of anything. I had no pain or discomfort, I was amazed."

Mr T. Walton on Thames

" I was even nervous of the sedation, but it was so simple, I just went to sleep so naturally"

Mrs R. Walton on Thames

" I didn't think sedation would work for me, but I remember nothing until the next morning, no discomfort or pain whatsoever."

Mrs H. Walton on Thames
