Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of toenail correction, and in particular to a combined ingrown toenail corrector. Background Technology

[0002] Ingrown toenails are a common problem, usually caused by improper nail trimming or fungal infection. This problem causes the toenail to curl inward and embed into the skin on both sides. Once the toenail penetrates the skin, it causes pain and, in severe cases, may lead to paronychia.

[0003] Existing ingrown toenail correctors are strip-shaped correction pieces (such as CN221617456U-steel-plastic composite ingrown toenail corrector), which are glued to the toenail that needs correction. However, their overall structure cannot adjust the correction force according to the severity of the ingrown toenail, and cannot completely solve the problem of ingrown toenail. Therefore, there is a need for a correction device that can correct a larger area of ​​the toenail. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a combined ingrown toenail corrector.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a combined ingrown toenail corrector, comprising two oppositely arranged patches and corrective ribs; at least two corrective ribs are provided, including corrective rib A and corrective rib B; corrective rib A and corrective rib B are arranged in an X-shape, and the ends of corrective rib A and corrective rib B are fixed to the two patches. The two corrective ribs are fixed to the patches at both ends, and the patches at both ends are fixed to the edge of the ingrown toenail, enabling the ingrown toenail to be corrected under the action of the corrective ribs.

[0006] Preferably, three corrective tendons are provided, including corrective tendon C; both ends of corrective tendon C are movably connected to the patch; the three corrective tendons are arranged in a star shape. Two corrective tendons are fixed to the patches at both ends, and the other corrective tendon is movably connected to the patch, which allows the number of corrective tendons used to be adjusted according to the degree of ingrown toenail, resulting in a better corrective effect.

[0007] Preferably, several horizontal mounting grooves are provided at the middle of the sides of the two patches, and the mounting grooves are located at the same height; the straightening ribs are all installed in the mounting grooves. Since the mounting grooves are located at the same height, the straightening ribs need to be bent before installation. In this process, prestress is applied to the straightening ribs to improve the straightening effect.

[0008] Preferably, the corrective ribs are installed sequentially and attached one after the other. This sequential attachment of the corrective ribs allows several ribs to form a unified whole, providing greater corrective force.

[0009] Preferably, the patches are arc-shaped, with the inner sides of the two patches facing each other; the corrective ribs are of the same length. The same length of the corrective ribs makes the orthodontic device easier to manufacture and assemble, reducing its complexity.

[0010] Furthermore, the length of the corrective rib matches the curvature of the patch, and the intersection of the corrective ribs is the center of the patch's arc. This ensures that the corrective ribs exert the same force on the patch, guaranteeing the effectiveness of toenail correction.

[0011] Preferably, the corrective tendon is in the form of a sheet. The sheet-shaped corrective tendon can avoid putting pressure on the middle of the toenail and causing pain; at the same time, making the corrective tendon sheet-shaped can also reduce the overall thickness of the orthosis, making it more portable and aesthetically pleasing.

[0012] Preferably, all edges of the patch are rounded to prevent the edges of the patch from causing damage to the human body or clothing.

[0013] Preferably, the patch is in the shape of a straight strip, with the long sides of the two patches parallel and facing each other. The straight strip shape of the patch can fit closer to the edge of the toenail, providing a better corrective effect on the edge of the toenail.

[0014] Preferably, the included angle between adjacent corrective ribs in the projection of the front of the orthosis is the same, which is α; 20°≤α≤60°. Consistent included angles between adjacent corrective ribs ensure that the orthosis is evenly stressed, thereby providing uniform correction to the toenails and improving the corrective effect.

[0015] Preferably, the patch is made of plastic or other organic materials, and the corrective rib is made of shape memory alloy. Plastic or other organic materials have high biocompatibility and are relatively soft, thus avoiding harm to the human body.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The combined ingrown toenail corrector of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, the two ends of the corrective rib are fixed to the patch, and the patches at both ends are fixed to the edge of the embedded toenail, which can correct the embedded toenail under the action of the corrective rib.

[0018] 2. The combined ingrown toenail corrector of this utility model has two corrective ribs fixed to the patches at both ends, and another corrective rib movably connected to the patch. The number of corrective ribs used can be adjusted according to the degree of ingrown toenail, resulting in a better corrective effect.

[0019] 3. The form of the patch can be adjusted as needed, thereby allowing for fine-tuning of the overall length of the orthosis to accommodate a wider range of toenail widths. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1: See Figure 1 A combined ingrown toenail corrector includes two opposing patches 2 and corrective ribs; at least two corrective ribs are provided, including corrective rib A 11 and corrective rib B 12; corrective rib A 11 and corrective rib B 12 are arranged in an X-shape, and the ends of corrective rib A 11 and corrective rib B 12 are fixed to the two patches 2. The two corrective ribs are fixed to the patches 2 at both ends, and the patches 2 at both ends are fixed to the edge of the ingrown toenail, enabling the ingrown toenail to be corrected under the action of the corrective ribs.

[0029] Several horizontal mounting grooves 21 are provided on the middle of the sides of the two patches 2, and the mounting grooves 21 are located at the same height; the straightening ribs are all installed in the mounting grooves 21. Since the mounting grooves 21 are located at the same height, the straightening ribs need to be bent before installation. During this process, prestress is applied to the straightening ribs to improve the straightening effect.

[0030] After installation, the straightening bars are attached one on top of the other. This sequential attachment of the straightening bars allows several bars to form a unified whole, providing greater corrective force.

[0031] Patches 2 are arc-shaped, and the inner sides of the two patches 2 are arranged opposite each other; the lengths of the corrective ribs are the same. The fact that the corrective ribs are of the same length makes the orthodontic device easier to manufacture and assemble, reducing the complexity of the orthodontic device.

[0032] The length of the corrective rib matches the curvature of patch 2, and the intersection of the corrective ribs is the center of the arc of patch 2. This ensures that the corrective ribs exert the same force on patch 2, guaranteeing the effectiveness of toenail correction.

[0033] The corrective tendon is in sheet form. The sheet-like shape of the corrective tendon can avoid putting pressure on the middle of the toenail and causing pain; at the same time, the sheet-like shape of the corrective tendon can also reduce the overall thickness of the orthosis, making it more portable and aesthetically pleasing.

[0034] All edges of patch 2 are rounded to prevent damage to the human body or clothing from the sharp edges of patch 2.

[0035] In the projection of the orthosis from the front, the included angle between adjacent corrective ribs is the same, α; 20°≤α≤60°. The consistent included angle between adjacent corrective ribs ensures that the orthosis is evenly stressed, thus providing uniform correction to the toenails and improving the correction effect.

[0036] Patch 2 is made of plastic or other organic materials, while the corrective rib is made of shape memory alloy. Plastic or other organic materials are highly compatible with the human body and are relatively soft, thus avoiding harm to the human body.

[0037] The usage process of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0038] ① Attach one side of patch 2 to the side of the toenail that needs correction using glue;

[0039] ②After one side of the patch 2 is fixed, press the other side of the patch 2 down onto the other side of the toenail and glue it in place.

[0040] Example 2: See Figure 2-5 Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that: three corrective ribs are provided, including corrective rib C13; both ends of corrective rib C13 are movably connected to patch 2; the three corrective ribs are arranged in a star shape. Two corrective ribs are fixed to the patches 2 at both ends, and the other corrective rib is movably connected to patch 2, which can adjust the number of corrective ribs used according to the degree of ingrown toenail, resulting in a better corrective effect.

[0041] Example 3: See Figure 6 Example 3 is basically the same as Example 2, and the similarities will not be repeated. The differences are: patch 2 is in the shape of a straight strip, and the long sides of the two patches 2 are parallel and opposite each other; the length of the corrective rib C 13 is less than that of the other two corrective ribs. The straight strip patch 2 can be closer to the edge of the toenail, and has a better corrective effect on the edge of the toenail.

[0042] Example 4: Example 4 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that: there are four corrective ribs. Corrective rib A 11 and corrective rib B 12 are located on both sides of the corrective rib, and the other two corrective ribs are distributed between corrective rib A 11 and corrective rib B 12, and are installed in the mounting groove 21.

[0043] In the above embodiments one, two and four, the number of corrective ribs can be set as needed, and this patent will not list each embodiment individually.
