A light-curing fixation auxiliary device for ingrown toenail correction

Abstract

This invention discloses a photocurable fixation auxiliary device for ingrown toenail correction, comprising an ingrown toenail body and a flexible rectangular frame. The correction mechanism includes an Ω-shaped correction wire, with hooks fixed to both ends of the Ω-shaped correction wire to hook onto the side edge of the ingrown toenail body. Each hook has an anti-slip strip fixed to its inner front surface. A curing pen is provided on the top of the flexible rectangular frame. This invention, through the cooperation of the Ω-shaped correction wire, auxiliary wire, and hooks, can form a central bridging fulcrum and bilateral symmetrical ring arms on the surface of the ingrown toenail body, thereby achieving three-dimensional correction force on the ingrown toenail body in an upward, outward, and forward direction. This addresses the growth trajectory of the ingrown toenail body from the root cause, with minimal trauma and a low recurrence rate. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the curing pen, conical shell, and flexible rectangular frame, the photocurable resin inside the flexible rectangular frame can be photocured, ensuring that the entire ingrown toenail correction device remains securely fixed after installation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ingrown toenail correction tools, specifically to an ingrown toenail correction light-curing fixation auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Ingrown toenails are a common foot problem where the lateral edge of the toenail (mostly the nail of the foot) grows abnormally and pierces into the surrounding soft tissue of the nail groove. This problem can cause local pain and swelling in the foot, and in severe cases, it can lead to inflammation, suppuration, and other symptoms, affecting normal walking.

[0003] Traditional solutions to this problem (ingrown toenail correction) often involve methods such as cotton stuffing or nail removal surgery. While these methods have some therapeutic effect, they also have problems such as high recurrence rates, significant trauma, and insecure fixation, making it difficult to correct the nail plate growth trajectory at its root.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an auxiliary device for photocuring fixation of ingrown nails to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a light-curing fixation auxiliary device for ingrown toenail correction, so as to solve the problems of high recurrence rate, large trauma and weak fixation in traditional ingrown toenail correction methods, thereby improving its efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an ingrown toenail correction light-curing fixation auxiliary device, comprising an ingrown toenail body and a flexible rectangular frame, wherein the ingrown toenail body is provided with a correction mechanism for ingrown toenail correction, the correction mechanism comprising an Ω-shaped correction wire, wherein two symmetrical auxiliary wires are fixed on the Ω-shaped correction wire, and both ends of the Ω-shaped correction wire are fixed with hook strips that hook onto the side edge of the ingrown toenail body, and each hook strip has an anti-slip strip fixed on the inner surface of its front end;

[0007] The flexible rectangular frame contains a photocurable resin that fixes the correction mechanism structure, and a curing pen is provided on the top of the flexible rectangular frame for curing the photocurable resin.

[0008] Preferably, the Ω-shaped corrective wire is deformed and fitted to the surface of the armor insert body, and one end of each of the two auxiliary wires is fixed to the surface of the two hook strips respectively.

[0009] Preferably, a silicone strip is adhered to the inner surface of each hook bar, and the inner surfaces of both silicone strips are in contact with the side edge surface of the insert body.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-slip strip is used to prevent slippage between the hook strip and the insert body, and a trapezoidal block is provided inside the Ω-shaped corrective wire, with elastic pieces fixed on both sides of the trapezoidal block.

[0011] Preferably, double-sided adhesive strips are fixed to the bottom of the trapezoidal block and the bottom of the two elastic sheets, and the double-sided adhesive strips on the trapezoidal block and the double-sided adhesive strips on the elastic sheets are different in shape and size, and the double-sided adhesive strips are all adhered to the surface of the armor body, and a connecting block is fixed to the top of the trapezoidal block.

[0012] Preferably, two symmetrical rectangular blocks are fixed on the Ω-shaped straightening wire, and semicircular rings are fixed on the surface of the two rectangular blocks and on both sides of the connecting block. A contraction spring is provided between the two semicircular rings at an angle.

[0013] Preferably, the flexible rectangular frame is disposed on the surface of the armor body, and a plurality of annular reinforcing strips are fixed on the outer wall of the flexible rectangular frame near the top position, and positioning holes are pre-set at the four top corners of the flexible rectangular frame.

[0014] Preferably, a double-sided annular adhesive strip is bonded to the bottom of the flexible rectangular frame, the bottom of the double-sided annular adhesive strip is bonded to the surface of the inlay body, and the bottom of the double-sided annular adhesive strip is bonded to the surface of the Ω-shaped orthopedic wire.

[0015] Preferably, the outer wall of the flexible rectangular frame is fixed with two symmetrical support frames, and the bottom of each support frame is glued with a double-sided rectangular adhesive strip, and both double-sided rectangular adhesive strips are glued to the surface of the armor body.

[0016] Preferably, the surface of the flexible rectangular frame is provided with a conical shell, and positioning blocks are fixed at the four bottom corners of the conical shell. The positioning blocks are adapted to the positioning holes, and the curing pen is pressed and fixed at the top through hole of the conical shell.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. In this invention, by combining Ω-shaped corrective wire, auxiliary wire, and hook strip, a central bridging fulcrum and bilateral symmetrical ring arms can be formed on the surface of the ingrown toenail, thereby achieving a three-dimensional corrective force on the ingrown toenail in the upward, outward, and forward directions. This addresses the growth trajectory of the ingrown toenail from the root, resulting in minimal trauma and a low recurrence rate. By combining silicone strip and anti-slip strip, the fit between the hook strip and the side edge of the ingrown toenail can be improved, as well as the anti-detachment effect. By combining trapezoidal blocks, double-sided adhesive strips, and elastic sheets, the ingrown toenail can be assisted in the ingrown toenail correction operation. At the same time, by combining rectangular blocks, semi-circular rings, trapezoidal blocks, double-sided adhesive strips, and contraction springs, the elasticity of the Ω-shaped corrective wire can be enhanced.

[0019] 2. In this invention, the positioning hole and positioning block work together to quickly and accurately place the conical shell on the top of the flexible rectangular frame. The curing pen, the conical shell and the flexible rectangular frame work together to perform light curing on the light-curing resin inside the flexible rectangular frame. That is, the cured light-curing resin can ensure that the entire ingrown nail correction device will not be unstable after installation.

[0020] 3. In this invention, by combining double-sided annular adhesive strips, double-sided rectangular adhesive strips, support frames, and annular reinforcing strips, the flexible rectangular frame can be stably fixed on the armor body, thereby ensuring that the light-cured resin does not flow in four directions during the subsequent pouring process.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an ingrown toenail correction light curing fixation auxiliary device, including an ingrown toenail body 1 and a flexible rectangular frame 3. The ingrown toenail body 1 is provided with a correction mechanism 2 for ingrown toenail correction. The correction mechanism 2 includes an Ω-shaped correction wire 201. Two symmetrical auxiliary wires 202 are fixed on the Ω-shaped correction wire 201. Hook strips 203 that hook onto the side edge of the ingrown toenail body 1 are fixed at both ends of the Ω-shaped correction wire 201. Anti-slip strips 205 are fixed on the inner surface of the front end of each hook strip 203.

[0032] The flexible rectangular frame 3 contains a light-curing resin that fixes the structure of the correction mechanism 2. A curing pen 11 is installed on the top of the flexible rectangular frame 3. The curing pen 11 is used to cure the light-curing resin. The Ω-shaped correction wire 201 deforms and fits onto the surface of the inlay body 1. One end of the two auxiliary wires 202 is fixed to the surface of the two hooks 203 respectively. A silicone strip 204 is bonded to the inner surface of each hook 203. The inner surfaces of the two silicone strips 204 are in contact with the side edge surface of the inlay body 1. A trapezoidal block 206 is installed inside the Ω-shaped correction wire 201. A connecting block 209 is fixed to the top of the trapezoidal block 206. Two symmetrical rectangular blocks 210 are fixed on the Ω-shaped correction wire 201. Semicircular rings 211 are fixed to the surface of the two rectangular blocks 210 and both sides of the connecting block 209. A contraction spring 212 is installed between the two semicircular rings 211.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the patient's nail plate needs ingrown toenail correction, the Ω-shaped correction wire 201 and the connecting block 209 are first connected by two contraction springs 212, four rectangular blocks 210, and four semicircular rings 211. Then, the new component formed by connecting the two is moved onto the ingrown toenail body 1 where the ingrown toenail needs correction. Next, the Ω-shaped correction wire 201 and the trapezoidal block 206 are both attached to the surface of the ingrown toenail body 1. Then, the two ends of the Ω-shaped correction wire 201 are deformed, and with the assistance of the auxiliary wire 202, the two hooks 203 are anchored to the side edges of the ingrown toenail body 1. Once the two hooks 203 have completed the anchoring operation to the side edges of the ingrown toenail body 1, then... The anti-slip strip 205 and silicone strip 204 work together to improve the fit and anti-detachment effect between the hook strip 203 and the side edge of the ingrown toenail body 1. Then, light-curing resin is poured onto the surface of the ingrown toenail body 1 after the ingrown toenail correction device is installed. Then, the device is cured by light by turning on the curing pen 11, so that the entire ingrown toenail correction device is stably fixed on the ingrown toenail body 1. That is, by using Ω-shaped correction wire 201, auxiliary wire 202 and hook strip 203, a central bridging fulcrum and bilateral symmetrical ring arms can be formed on the surface of the ingrown toenail body 1, thereby achieving three-dimensional correction force on the ingrown toenail body 1 in the upward, outward and forward directions, so as to solve the growth trajectory of the ingrown toenail body 1 (plate) from the root, with minimal trauma and low recurrence rate.

[0034] Example 2: According to Figures 1-8As shown, the correction mechanism 2 includes an Ω-shaped correction wire 201, on which two symmetrical auxiliary wires 202 are fixed. A trapezoidal block 206 is disposed inside the Ω-shaped correction wire 201. Elastic pieces 207 are fixed to both sides of the trapezoidal block 206. Double-sided adhesive strips 208 are fixed to the bottom of the trapezoidal block 206 and the bottom of the two elastic pieces 207, respectively. The double-sided adhesive strips 208 on the trapezoidal block 206 and the double-sided adhesive strips 208 on the elastic pieces 207 have different shapes and sizes, and are all adhered to the surface of the inlay body 1. A connecting block 209 is fixed to the top of the trapezoidal block 206. Two symmetrical rectangular blocks 210 are fixed to the Ω-shaped correction wire 201. The surfaces of the two rectangular blocks 210 and both sides of the connecting block 209 are fixed with... A semicircular ring 211 is provided, and a contraction spring 212 is provided between the two oblique semicircular rings 211. A flexible rectangular frame 3 is provided on the surface of the armor body 1. Multiple annular reinforcing strips 4 are fixed on the outer wall of the flexible rectangular frame 3 near the top. Positioning holes 5 are pre-set at the four corners of the top of the flexible rectangular frame 3. Double-sided annular adhesive strips 6 are bonded to the bottom of the flexible rectangular frame 3. The bottom of the double-sided annular adhesive strips 6 is bonded to the surface of the armor body 1. The bottom of the double-sided annular adhesive strips 6 is bonded to the surface of the Ω-shaped straightening wire 201. Two symmetrical support frames 7 are fixed on the outer wall of the flexible rectangular frame 3. Double-sided rectangular adhesive strips 8 are bonded to the bottom of each support frame 7. Both double-sided rectangular adhesive strips 8 are bonded to the surface of the armor body 1. A curing pen 11 is pressed and fixed at the top through hole of the conical shell 9.

[0035] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to strengthen the elasticity of the Ω-shaped orthotic wire 201, the release paper on the double-sided adhesive strip 208 attached to the bottom of the trapezoidal block 206 is peeled off. Then, the trapezoidal block 206 is fixed to the surface of the armor body 1 by the double-sided adhesive strip 208. When the trapezoidal block 206 is fixed to the surface of the armor body 1, the elasticity of the Ω-shaped orthotic wire 201 can be strengthened by the rebound force of the compression spring 212, the semi-circular ring 211, the trapezoidal block 206, and the rectangular block 210. This further increases the elasticity of the hook 203 and the armor. To prevent detachment between the side edges of the main body 1, the release paper on the double-sided adhesive strip 208 at the bottom of the elastic piece 207 is then peeled off. Next, the tail end of the elastic piece 207 is bent and deformed until it adheres to the surface of the inlay body 1. That is, through the elastic force of the trapezoidal block 206 and the elastic piece 207, the inlay body 1 can be assisted in correction. When it is necessary to stably fix the entire inlay correction device on the inlay body 1, the release paper on the double-sided annular adhesive strip 6 at the bottom of the flexible rectangular frame 3 and the double-sided rectangular adhesive strip 8 at the bottom of each support frame 7 are peeled off in sequence. The release paper is then applied, and the flexible rectangular frame 3, auxiliary wire 202, and Ω-shaped correction wire 201 are fixed together using double-sided annular adhesive strips 6. Next, the support frame 7 is fixed to the armor body 1 using double-sided rectangular adhesive strips 8. The support frame 7, in conjunction with the annular reinforcing strip 4, increases the stability of the flexible rectangular frame 3 after fixation. Then, optically fixed resin is poured into the interior of the flexible rectangular frame 3 until it submerges the rectangular block 210. Next, the curing pen 11 is pressed and fixed onto the conical shell 9. Finally, [further details are needed]. By using the positioning block 10 and positioning hole 5, the conical shell 9 is positioned on top of the flexible rectangular frame 3. Finally, the curing pen 11 is turned on to allow the light-curing resin to be fixed by light. When the light-curing resin is completely cured, the conical shell 9 and the parts fixed on it are removed first, and then the flexible rectangular frame 3 and the parts fixed on it are removed. In other words, by using the flexible rectangular frame 3, the conical shell 9 and their related accessories, the light-curing resin can be used to fix the installed ingrown nail correction device, thereby improving the stability of the device during use.

[0036] The overall effect and working principle of the mechanism are as follows: In use, the Ω-shaped corrective wire 201 and the connecting block 209 are connected by two contraction springs 212, four rectangular blocks 210 and four semi-circular rings 211. Then, the new component formed by connecting the two is moved to the ingrown nail body 1 where the ingrown nail needs to be corrected. Next, the Ω-shaped corrective wire 201 and the trapezoidal block 206 are attached to the surface of the ingrown nail body 1. Then, the two tail ends of the Ω-shaped corrective wire 201 are deformed. At the same time, with the help of the auxiliary wire 202, the two hooks 203 are anchored on the side edges of the ingrown nail body 1. When the two hooks 203 have completed the anchoring operation of the side edges of the ingrown nail body 1, the anti-slip strip 205 and the silicone strip 204 are used to improve the fit and anti-detachment effect between the hooks 203 and the side edges of the ingrown nail body 1.

[0037] Then, peel off the release paper from the double-sided adhesive strip 208 attached to the bottom of the trapezoidal block 206. Next, fix the trapezoidal block 206 to the surface of the inlay body 1 using the double-sided adhesive strip 208. When the trapezoidal block 206 is fixed to the surface of the inlay body 1, the elastic force of the Ω-shaped straightening wire 201 can be strengthened by the rebound force of the compression spring 212, the semi-circular ring 211, the trapezoidal block 206 and the rectangular block 210. This can further increase the anti-detachment effect between the hook 203 and the side edge of the inlay body 1. Then, peel off the release paper from the double-sided adhesive strip 208 at the bottom of the elastic piece 207. Next, bend and deform the tail end of the elastic piece 207 until it is bonded to the surface of the inlay body 1. That is, the elastic force of the trapezoidal block 206 and the elastic piece 207 can be used to assist in the correction of the inlay body 1.

[0038] When it is necessary to stably fix the entire ingrown nail correction device to the ingrown nail body 1, the release paper on the double-sided annular adhesive strip 6 at the bottom of the flexible rectangular frame 3 and the release paper on the double-sided rectangular adhesive strip 8 at the bottom of each support frame 7 are peeled off in sequence. Then, the flexible rectangular frame 3, the auxiliary wire 202 and the Ω-shaped correction wire 201 are fixed together by the double-sided annular adhesive strip 6. Then, the support frame 7 is fixed to the ingrown nail body 1 by the double-sided rectangular adhesive strip 8. That is, by the cooperation of the support frame 7 and the annular reinforcing strip 4, the stability of the flexible rectangular frame 3 after fixation can be increased. Then, the light-fixing resin is poured into the interior of the flexible rectangular frame 3 until the light-fixing resin submerges the rectangular block 210.

[0039] Next, the curing pen 11 is pressed and fixed onto the conical shell 9. Then, the conical shell 9 is positioned on top of the flexible rectangular frame 3 by the cooperation of the positioning block 10 and the positioning hole 5. Finally, the curing pen 11 is turned on to allow the light-curing resin to be fixed by light. When the light-curing resin is completely cured, the conical shell 9 and the parts fixed on it are removed first, and then the flexible rectangular frame 3 and the parts fixed on it are removed. That is, by using the Ω-shaped straightening wire 201, the auxiliary wire 202 and the hook 203, a central bridging fulcrum and double-sided symmetrical ring arms can be formed on the surface of the armor body 1, thereby realizing the three-dimensional straightening force of the armor body 1 upward, outward and forward, so as to solve the growth trajectory of the armor body 1 (plate) from the root.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
