Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical and health products, and in particular relates to a breathable sock for paronychia. Background Technology

[0002] Paronychia often occurs on the first toe (big toe) of the foot. It can occur on one side of the toe or on both sides at the same time. Paronychia can cause local redness, swelling and pain in the toe (finger), affecting daily activities such as standing, walking and running, and causing trouble for daily study, work and life.

[0003] Patients with paronychia often avoid wearing socks in winter due to the pain, forced to choose between the excruciating pain and the cold. It's important for them to wear properly sized shoes and socks daily, avoiding shoes or socks that are too tight, which can cause prolonged pressure on the feet.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent application number 202023212162.1 discloses a wear-resistant massage sock, including a sock body, finger cots, U-shaped spacers, and a wear-resistant mesh cover. The sock body has an elastic band at the top, a breathable mesh in the middle of the upper part of the sock body, and finger cots at one end of the sock body. U-shaped spacers are placed between the finger cots. When worn, the socks effectively separate the toes, thus preventing pressure between them and reducing discomfort for patients with paronychia.

[0005] Chinese invention patent application number 202110617226.6 discloses a comfortable cotton-lined sock and its knitting method. The sock includes a sock body with a first space within it. A drawstring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sock body, and a second space runs vertically through the drawstring, communicating with the first space. A massage plate is fixed to the right side wall of the second space. A heel pad is provided in the sock body, and a foot pad is woven from top to bottom into the lower side wall of the first space. This effectively separates the toes, preventing them from touching and avoiding friction during walking, thus significantly reducing the incidence of paronychia.

[0006] The inventors of the above-mentioned existing technologies have all made improvements from the perspective of socks in order to reduce the pain of patients with paronychia. However, the common shortcomings are that the socks have a complex structure, are difficult to manufacture, and have a low popularity. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breathable sock for paronychia, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technology. It can keep the feet clean while being warm and aesthetically pleasing, and is also convenient for patients with paronychia, ingrown toenails, and onychomycosis to change dressings and receive treatment. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture, reducing the problem of high cost and low popularity of socks caused by overly complicated manufacturing processes.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0009] The breathable socks for paronychia include a toe, sole, back, heel, leg, and cuff. The toe has an opening on the outer side of the first toe, with an elastic overlock. The opening starts at the intersection of the midline of the first toe and the toe, and ends at the intersection of the opening and the side of the toe, 2-3 cm from the starting point.

[0010] Furthermore, the sock body is made of cotton fiber, linen fiber, or bamboo fiber.

[0011] Furthermore, the seam between the toe and the back of the sock is located on the upper side of the toes or in front of the toes.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic locking edge is provided with nylon elastic locking threads.

[0013] Furthermore, the sock body is a blend of cotton and any one of nylon, acrylic, polyester, or spandex.

[0014] Furthermore, the opening has an inward arc shape with a radius of R30-60mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the opening is located on the seam on the outside of the toe, where the seam is not connected and is naturally formed.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1) The structure is simple and easy to manufacture, which reduces the problem of high cost and low popularity of socks due to complicated manufacturing process; it also reduces the consumption of bandages, saves costs, facilitates dressing changes and treatment, and reduces the workload of nurses.

[0018] 2) During the treatment of paronychia, ingrown toenail, and onychomycosis of the feet, after the dressing is changed, the toes are fully exposed, which is more breathable and conducive to wound healing;

[0019] 2) Avoid exposing the affected foot to keep it clean, which is both warm and aesthetically pleasing; economical and practical, it can be reused after washing, and the socks are breathable, which helps keep the feet dry and healthy;

[0020] 3) Avoid repeated dressing changes and sock removal, which can cause foot pain. Avoid touching the socks to become soiled (bloodstains, purulent discharge). Avoid swelling, friction, and discomfort at the dressing change site to reduce pain. Attached Figure Description

[0029] See Figures 1-3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of the breathable socks for paronychia of this utility model. The sock body includes a toe 1, a sole 2, a back 3, a heel 4, a leg 5, and a cuff 6. An opening 7 is provided on the outer side of the first toe 8 at the toe 1. An elastic overlock is provided at the opening 7, and nylon elastic overlock threads are provided on the elastic overlock. The starting point of the opening 7 is located at the intersection of the midline of the first toe 8 and the toe 1, and the ending point of the opening 7 is located at the intersection of the starting point and the side of the toe 1, 2-3 cm away from the starting point. The opening 7 has an inward arc shape with a radius of R30-60mm.

[0030] The materials used for the sock body are diverse, including cotton, linen, or bamboo fiber. Alternatively, the sock body can be a blend of cotton with any of the following: nylon, acrylic, polyester, or spandex.

[0031] The seam 9 between the toe 1 and the back 3 is located on the upper side of the toes. The opening 7 is located on the outer seam of the toe 1. During manufacturing, the seam is not connected, and the opening is formed naturally. This structure does not conflict with existing sock manufacturing processes and is very easy to implement.

[0032] See Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second embodiment of the breathable socks for paronychia of this utility model. In this embodiment, the seam 9 between the toe 1 and the back 3 is located on the front side of the toes. The sock body includes a toe 1, a sole 2, a back 3, a heel 4, a leg 5, and a cuff 6. An opening 7 is provided on the outer side of the first toe 8 of the toe 1, and an elastic overlock is provided at the opening 7, with nylon elastic overlock threads on the elastic overlock. The starting point of the opening 7 is located at the intersection of the midline of the first toe 8 and the toe 1, and the ending point of the opening 7 is located at the intersection of the starting point and the side of the toe 1, 2-3 cm away from the starting point.
