Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of paronychia correction, and in particular to a paronychia correction device. Background Technology

[0002] Paronychia refers to inflammation of the sides of the nail and surrounding tissue. It is more common in people who frequently come into contact with water or detergents, have a nail-biting habit, excessively trim their nails, or have ingrown nails. Based on its cause and course, paronychia can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute paronychia usually occurs after minor trauma leading to bacterial infection, while chronic paronychia may be caused by Candida infection or long-term repeated contact with irritants or allergens. Symptoms of paronychia mainly include redness, swelling, and pain in the surrounding tissue; in severe cases, suppuration may occur, and pus will drain from the nail groove.

[0003] Among existing paronychia correctors, such as the one disclosed in utility model patent application number 201920507416.0, this utility model solves the problems of poor stability and excessive burden on the nails of existing paronychia correctors by setting up a base plate, a sliding groove, a first sliding rod, a support plate, a first nut, a second sliding rod, a sliding sleeve, a circular groove, a circular plate, a support rod, and the corrector in combination. This paronychia corrector has the advantages of good stability and less burden on the nails, and is worth promoting and using.

[0004] Most existing paronychia correctors are only a treatment for ingrown toenails and are only suitable for cases without inflammation or with mild inflammation. However, they are not effective in correcting symptoms that have already developed inflammation and pus. Common treatments for existing inflammation include the use of antifungal drugs, oral or injectable antibiotics, etc. Severe cases may require incision and drainage of pus or infected areas. Then, the nail groove is cleaned by stuffing cotton or other materials to remove the pus, which is very troublesome and has poor corrective effect on ingrown toenails. Utility Model Content
