Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthotics, and more particularly to a K-type ingrown nail corrector. Background Technology
[0002] Ingrown toenails, a common foot condition, not only cause pain but can also lead to paronychia, severely impacting patients' daily lives and health. Ingrown toenail correctors, as important non-surgical treatments, correct deformed nails through physical means, helping to restore the nail's normal growth pattern. Their performance directly affects the corrective effect and patient experience. With increasing public awareness of foot health, higher demands are being placed on the functionality, comfort, and effectiveness of ingrown toenail correctors.
[0003] Most existing ingrown toenail correctors use simple patch or wire structures. Patch correctors typically use medical adhesive to fix a flexible patch to the nail surface, relying on the patch's elasticity to apply an outward pulling force to the nail. Wire correctors, on the other hand, fix both ends of a wire to the sides of the nail, and adjust the tension of the wire to generate corrective force on the nail. These traditional structures are mainly based on the principle of applying force at a single location, attempting to correct the nail as a whole through simple elastic deformation.
[0004] However, existing ingrown toenail correctors generally suffer from a limited correction location. Due to their structural limitations, they can only apply corrective force to a specific location or limited area of the nail, making it difficult to precisely adjust for deformations at different locations on both sides of the nail. This single-location force application method cannot fully consider the uneven force distribution across different parts of the nail, resulting in a significant reduction in the overall correction effect and making it difficult to achieve satisfactory correction. Therefore, a K-type ingrown toenail corrector is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a K-type ingrown nail corrector, which aims to improve the problems of traditional products having a relatively single correction position, insufficient upward correction force, and poor adhesion.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A K-type ingrown toenail corrector includes a main tension corrector, with multiple auxiliary tension correctors fixedly connected to one side of the main tension corrector. Each of the main tension corrector and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors has a placement cavity axially formed in its central region. Each placement cavity has an elastic steel sheet on its inner wall, and the width of the placement cavity is greater than the width of the elastic steel sheet. Multiple adsorption recesses are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the main tension corrector and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The main tension corrector and multiple auxiliary tension correctors have several ears fixedly connected to their outer walls.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] Each of the elastic steel plates has its outer sidewall penetrating the main tension corrector and multiple auxiliary tension correctors and extending into the interior of the ear.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The main tension corrector and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors have multiple elastic body positioning holes inside, and the bottom ends of the multiple elastic body positioning holes are connected to the placement cavities inside the main tension corrector and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The width of the placement cavity inside the main tension corrector and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors is longer than the width of the elastic steel sheet.
[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In this invention, the elasticity of the sidewalls of multiple elastic steel sheets applies an upward pulling force to multiple different positions on both sides of the nail, achieving a good correction effect on the nail. This solves the problems of traditional products having a relatively single correction position, insufficient upward correction force, and poor adhesion, thus enhancing the product's correction effect on the nail.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a K-type ingrown toenail corrector, comprising a main pull corrector 1, with multiple auxiliary pull correctors 2 fixedly connected to one side of the main pull corrector 1. Each of the main pull corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary pull correctors 2 has a placement cavity axially formed in its central region. Each placement cavity has an elastic steel sheet 5 on its inner wall, the width of which is greater than the width of the elastic steel sheet 5, providing elastic deformation space for the main pull corrector 1 and the auxiliary pull correctors 2, allowing the elastic steel sheet 5 to bend freely and generate a rebound force. Multiple adsorption recesses 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the main pull corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary pull correctors 2 to increase the adhesive contact area and ensure that the main pull corrector 1 and the auxiliary pull correctors 2 are firmly attached to the nail surface. Several ears 3 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main tension corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2. The outer wall of each elastic steel sheet 5 penetrates the main tension corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2 and extends into the interior of the ear 3, so that the elastic force of the elastic steel sheet 5 is transmitted to the ear 3, forming multi-point traction correction. Multiple elastic body positioning holes 4 are opened inside the main tension corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2. The bottom ends of the multiple elastic body positioning holes 4 are connected to the placement cavity inside the main tension corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2, which are used to fix the position of the elastic steel sheet 5 and prevent it from shifting in the placement cavity. The width of the placement cavity inside the main tension corrector 1 and the multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2 is longer than the width of the elastic steel sheet 5, ensuring that the elastic steel sheet 5 is not hindered when it is bent under force and maintains a stable elastic restoring force.
[0027] Working principle: During product use, adhesive is applied to the adsorption pits 6 at the bottom of the main tension corrector 1 and multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2. Then, the main tension corrector 1 and multiple auxiliary tension correctors 2 are adhered to the nail surface where the patient experiences pain, with the multiple ears 3 aligned with the sides of the nail. Because the nail surface has a curved structure, when the bottom of the main tension corrector 1 is fully adhered to the nail surface, it causes the main tension corrector 1 and the elastic steel sheet 5 to bend. Due to the elasticity of the elastic steel sheet 5, the middle of the elastic steel sheet 5 uses the top of the middle of the nail as a fulcrum, and the sidewalls of the multiple elastic steel sheets 5 rebound upwards due to their own elasticity, forming upward tension at multiple different positions. Through this multi-position upward tension method, continuous and stable traction correction is achieved on both sides of the nail, gradually improving the nail shape and achieving a good correction effect. This solves the problems of traditional products having a relatively single correction position, insufficient upward correction force, and poor adhesion, thus enhancing the product's correction effect on the nail.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
