Ingrowing nail correction device and method

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of medical correction instruments, in particular to an ingrowing nail correction device.The ingrowing nail correction device is characterized by comprising a groove-shaped hook and a bandage, the groove-shaped hook is composed of an upper curved surface and a lower curved surface, the bandage is arranged at an opening end of the upper curved surface of the groove-shaped hook, and a plurality of penetrating holes are formed in the bandage.The ingrowing nail correction device is reasonable in design, simple in structure, low in cost and comfortable to wear, has good correction effect, can be adjusted according to width of nails (toenails) of different patients and is suitable for treatment of one-side and double-side ingrowing nails.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical correction instruments, in particular to a device for correcting ingrown nails and a method for correcting ingrown nails using the device. Background technique [0002] Ingrown toenails, also known as paronychia, are caused by ingrown fingernails and toe nails piercing into the paronychia tissue. The paronychia tissue is forced and continuously compressed, affecting normal tissue metabolism, thereby causing local inflammation and infection. Ingrown toenail is a common disease, which mostly occurs in the big toe of the toe. There are many reasons for the ingrown toenail. Usually, the nail is deformed due to long-term restraint by external forces, such as shoes that cover too tightly; finger (toe) nails Improper pruning, or congenitally wide and curly nails cause finger (toe) nails to grow inward, grow into the nail groove, and embed into the nail groove tissue, causing local redness, swelling and inflammatio...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] There are two main ways to treat ingrown toenails. One is surgical nail cutting and pulling. It takes a long time to heal after the nail is pulled out, and the wound cannot go into the water until the wound has healed, and it is even impossible to walk normally in a few days

What is even more worrying is that the newly grown nail (toe) may still grow in the original direction, and eventually return to the same state as before, and the healing effect is not satisfactory; another method is instrumental correction treatment, basically It uses the elasticity of the material to perform rigid traction on the finger (toe) nail. On the one hand, this type of aligner cannot adjust the position according to the size and shape of the nail of different patients, and because this type of aligner is mostly made of hard materials such as metal or plastic plates. , often temporarily correct the patient, but because the nail (toe) itself has a certain shape, even if it is treated with traction such as hook nail, it is still very easy to reset and still grows into the nail groove tissue, and it is difficult to achieve a cure At the same time, because the material of this kind of orthotic is relatively hard, it is difficult to wear it in situations such as wearing shoes and walking, and the scope of use is very limited, and the correction effect is poor.
