AI Technical Summary
Existing devices for treating paronychia are complex in structure, expensive, and have poor treatment effects.
Design an improved omega ring using an elastic element made of steel wire, with both ends bent to form hooks and an "Ω"-shaped middle ring in the center. Combined with hooks and protruding structures, it is used to pry up the edges of the toenail and prevent ingrown nails from getting stuck in the soft tissue around the nail groove.
This method achieves a simple treatment for paronychia, reduces costs, and effectively treats paronychia by prying up the edges of the toenail on both sides, thus reducing the phenomenon of ingrown toenails getting stuck in soft tissue.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of paronychia treatment, specifically a modified omega ring for the treatment of paronychia. Background Technology
[0002] Paronychia is an inflammatory reaction affecting the skin folds around the nail, manifesting as acute or chronic suppurative, tender, and painful swelling of the periungual tissue, caused by a nail fold abscess. When the infection becomes chronic, transverse ridges appear at the base of the nail matrix, and new ridges appear with each recurrence. The fingers are more commonly affected than the toes.
[0003] Physical correction is a common tool for treating paronychia. However, existing devices for physical correction of nails have drawbacks such as complex structure, high cost, and poor treatment effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a modified omega ring for the treatment of paronychia. Its simple structure effectively pries up the edges of the toenail, preventing the ingrown nail from getting stuck in the soft tissue around the nail groove, thereby achieving the goal of treating paronychia and reducing costs.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a modified omega ring for the treatment of paronychia, comprising an elastic element, the two ends of which are bent to form hooks, and an "Ω"-shaped intermediate ring in the middle of the elastic element.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention is improved by including a hook, one end of which is pointed.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention is improved by having a protrusion at the other end of the hook.
[0010] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that the protruding bottom end is inverted conical in shape.
[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a modified omega ring for the treatment of paronychia, which has the following beneficial effects: its structure is simple, and it can be made by bending a steel wire into a specified shape to achieve the effect of prying up the edges of the toenail, so that the ingrown nail is no longer stuck in the soft tissue around the nail groove, thereby achieving the purpose of treating paronychia and reducing costs.

[0015] The attached diagram is labeled as follows: 1. Elastic element; 2. Hook; 3. Intermediate ring; 4. Hook; 5. Protrusion. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Example 1:
[0018] Please see Figure 2 This utility model is a modified omega ring for the treatment of paronychia, including an elastic element 1, which is made of steel wire. In order to adapt to the shape of the nail, the elastic element 1 is arc-shaped. The two ends of the elastic element 1 are bent to form hooks 2, and an "Ω"-shaped intermediate ring 3 is provided in the middle of the elastic element 1.
[0019] When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, when using it, one of the hooks 2 is hooked onto one edge of the toenail, and then the other hook 2 is pulled so that it hooks onto the edge of another toenail. At this time, the entire elastic element 1 is in a stretched state, the opening of the "Ω"-shaped middle ring 3 is enlarged, and the two ends of the elastic element 1 always maintain an upward slight elasticity, thereby achieving the effect of prying up the edges of the toenail, so that the ingrown nail no longer gets stuck in the soft tissue around the nail groove, thereby achieving the purpose of treating paronychia.
[0020] Example 2:
[0021] Please see Figure 2 This embodiment is based on embodiment 1. The present invention is a modified omega ring for the treatment of paronychia, and also includes a hook 4. One end of the hook 4 is pointed and the other end of the hook 4 has a protrusion 5. The bottom end of the protrusion 5 is inverted conical.
[0022] When in use, the hook 4 is mainly used to pull the elastic element 1, so that the ingrown nail moves out of the soft tissue to enhance the treatment effect. The method of use is as follows: pinch the protrusion 5 to pick up the hook 4, and let the pointed end pass through the three points of the middle ring 3 and the hook part 2 in turn. Then pull the hook 4 away from the ingrown nail to pull the ingrown nail. It can be pulled several times a day.
[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
