Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial application field] The present invention, as the nail grows,
The present invention relates to a so-called ingrown nail correction tool in which the tip of the nail bites into the flesh of the fingertip on both sides or one side thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, means for correcting ingrown nails include:
Mostly due to surgery.

[0003]

[Problem to be solved by the invention]
Surgery is troublesome, and is often left untreated without treatment. It often recurs after surgery. Therefore, there has been a demand for the development of effective incurvated nail prevention or correction means.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object to provide an incurvated nail correction tool which can be easily mounted without surgery and can reliably correct an ingrown nail. And

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the incurvated nail correction tool of the present invention is formed by bending both ends inward, and is locked at arbitrary positions on both sides of the nail. An engaging portion and an adjusting portion formed by bending a part of the portion into a substantially loop shape, and having an adjustable diameter.
It is characterized by having.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the ingrown nail correction device of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS.

The incurvated nail correction tool 1 of this embodiment is formed by bending a single metal wire into a predetermined shape, for example, as shown in FIG. This is generally adapted to the shape of the nail, since the nail has a certain curved surface. In addition, since the shape has individual differences, it is preferable to bend according to the surface shape of each individual nail.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a locking portion formed by bending both ends of the incurvated nail correction tool 1 inward. The length is not particularly limited, but at least a length that can be inserted between the side portion of the nail and the meat portion is required, but it is necessary that the length does not penetrate the skin. . In addition, since this length also varies from person to person,
Preferably, the length is determined for each individual.
In this embodiment, as is clear from FIGS. 2 and 4, the two locking portions 2 and 2 are bent so as to face each other, that is, in a straight line. The bending angle is not particularly limited as long as it can be inserted between the part and the meat part.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an adjusting portion formed by bending a part of the incurvated nail correction tool 1, for example, a substantially central portion into a substantially loop shape. By adjusting the diameter of the adjusting portion 3, that is, by contracting or loosening, the locking portion is securely locked to the nail, and is prevented from slipping off the nail. In addition, when the size of the prepared ingrown nail correction tool 1 has a slight error with respect to each individual nail (fingertip), the diameter of the adjusting section 3 is adjusted to adjust the diameter of each individual nail. It is possible to adjust to the size.

[0010] Although the present embodiment shows a shape formed in a substantially U-shape, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, as is clear from FIGS. 1 and 5, it is formed by bending the edges 3 a, 3 b along the surface of the nail 4, but it is not necessarily bent in this way. However, if formed as in the present embodiment, since the adjusting portion 3 is in close contact with the nail, it does not become an obstacle even if worn for a long period of time, and does not hinder daily life.

The incurvated nail correction tool 1 of this embodiment is used as follows. First, one locking portion 2 is inserted between one side portion of the nail 4 having the incurvated nail and the meat portion. Similarly, insert the other engaging portion 2 between the other side portion of the claw 4 and the meat portion,
The incurvated nail correction tool 1 of the present embodiment is temporarily fixed to the nail (see FIG. 5).

Next, the diameter of the adjusting portion 3 formed in a substantially loop shape is reduced, for example, by reducing the diameter of the adjusting portion 3, that is, by tightening the edges 3 a and 3 b of the adjusting portion 3 so as to approach each other. Make sure to attach and lock. This allows
The side part of the nail ＄ is maintained in a state of being slightly separated from the meat part.

The nail 4 extends on the engaging portion 2 of the incurvated nail correction tool 1 and both sides of the nail 4 are pulled in a direction away from the flesh. Then, the curvature of the growing nail gradually decreases, and the ingrown nail is eliminated. As a result, the shape of the nail 4 itself changes to a flatter shape than the ingrown nail state, so that the ingrown nail symptom does not recur.

In the above-described embodiment, the metal nail is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plastic material or the like may be used.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] The ingrown nail correction device of the present invention can be easily mounted, and the ingrown nail can be naturally and reliably corrected simply by mounting the correction device.
