Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a kit for performing a nail correction method for a human or animal toenail or fingernail.
  • the application claims priority of the prior application DE 102017004546.1 (date of filing: 12 May 2017).
  • WO 2011/039243 A1 An alternative, non-surgical way of treatment is to fit a nail correction brace at the respective nail.
  • a brace is described in the German patent specification DE 10 2005 039 147 B3.
  • the brace engages under the nail, which often will lead to tissue irritations.
  • WO 2011/039243 A1 a multi-layer polymer system is described, wherein it is intended that, by contraction and expansion of different layers in opposite directions, lateral tensile forces on the nail are obtained, with the consequence of a mechanical correction.
  • the method described in WO 2011/039243 A1 is not reproducible: All efforts to reproduce such a multi-layer system, which, on the one hand, attaches on the nail and, on the other hand, develops the required correction forces, were not successful.
  • the kit for nail correction described in the following avoids the above drawbacks and enables in a simple way a correction of ingrown fingernails or toenails.
  • different compositions based on photopolymerizable components can be applied.
  • one or more metallic spring braces can additionally be used. By the kind of attachment of the metallic spring braces, it can be excluded that mechanical tissue irritations will occur.
  • the kit for nail correction according to the invention includes
  • the component a of the kit according to the invention is a primer, acting as an adhesion agent.
  • This adhesion agent includes 40-60% of hydroxyethylene methacrylate and 40-60% of phosphate dimethacrylate and 0.1-1.0% of a polymerization starter.
  • the polymerization starters are described below in more detail.
  • the mixing proportion may vary within the percentages mentioned above.
  • the two methacrylates are included in an approximately identical proportion. It is understood that all components together sum up to 100%.
  • the actual nail brace is formed by means of the photopolymerizable material b.
  • This is a composition including
  • compositions mentioned above allows for a different adjustment of the mechanical properties, in the form of different degrees of hardness. In practice, it has proven to provide two compositions, one of which is comparatively soft, the other one being comparatively hard.
  • the soft composition includes, for instance,
  • the hard composition includes, for instance,
  • the monomers bisphenol A (di)methacrylate and urethane dimethacrylate included in the compositions are preferably included in approximately equal amounts.
  • Mixing proportions, wherein the two main components are included in a mass proportion between 1:5 and 5:1, are generally suitable.
  • Particularly preferable are mixing proportions, wherein the two main components are included in a mass proportion between 1:2 and 2:1.
  • the material for the light-curing nail brace further includes fillers and pigments.
  • fillers and pigments are silicate-based fillers (silica fillers), fillers based on ground barium glass (barium glass fillers) as well as polymeric particles.
  • the particular additions have diameters in the range from 0.1-10 ⁇ m, preferably they are smaller than 5 ⁇ m.
  • the barium glass-based fillers significantly contribute to the mechanical properties of the nail brace.
  • pigments may further be included in the composition, in order to confer an aesthetic appearance to the formed nail brace. Further, the pigments should preferably have diameters in the range from 0.1-10 ⁇ m.
  • compositions according to the invention further include polymerization starters that can initiate the desired polymerization reaction by irradiation with light.
  • polymerization starters that can initiate the desired polymerization reaction by irradiation with light.
  • all classical polymerization starters are suitable.
  • Particularly suitable has proven the combination of camphorquinone with amino starters, namely tertiary amines (e.g., triethanolamine, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, triethylamine, 4-dimethylamino bezoic acid ethyl ester, N,N-tetramethylaniline).
  • tertiary amines e.g., triethanolamine, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, triethylamine, 4-dimethylamino bezoic acid ethyl ester, N,N-tetramethylaniline.
  • the completed composition can be stored over longer times, without a polymerization reaction taking place. Only after illumination with an adjusted light source, the polymerization reaction will occur.
  • an LED light source with a wavelength of approx. 450 nm and a light power of 1000-1500 mW/cm2 can be used.
  • the kit according to the invention further includes one or more braces made of spring steel. They are made from a spring steel wire having a diameter of 0.3-1.5 mm.
  • the brace may include one or more U-shaped loops.
  • the metal spring brace is applied with the light-curing material described above on top of the respective nail (glued). Different from the therapy methods described above using such metal braces, it is neither required to enclose the nail at the outside, nor to provide for boreholes in the nail.
  • FIG. 4 shows an attachment according to the invention for such a metal brace.
  • FIG. 1 shows the application of a composition for making a light-curing nail brace onto the nail.
  • FIG. 2 shows the light-cured composition on the nail close to the nail pocket (after illumination).
  • FIG. 3 shows the application of a light-curing composition on the nail close to the nail pocket.
  • FIG. 4 shows the attachment of a spring brace by means of the kit according to the invention by fixing the first end of the spring brace (top) and then fixing the other end.
  • the kit according to the invention is used as follows:
  • the therapist removes the concerned nail from the nail bed.
  • a strip of cloth can be inserted between nail and nail bed.
  • the nail is first treated with the primer of the kit.
  • Care has, in particular, to be taken that the nail is dry.
  • the concerned nail should, in particular during the 24 hours before the application, not have been in a longer-lasting contact with water.
  • the patient should, for instance, not have taken a bath. Short washing or showering is, however, harmless, provided that the nail has been carefully dried. If necessary, the nail can be dried with a hot-air blower.
  • the primer is first applied onto the necessary locations. Normally, it is recommended to apply the primer in a sheet-like manner onto the entire nail.
  • the polymerization is started by means of a light source (preferably blue light of approx. 450 nm and 100 mW/cm 2 ).
  • a light source preferably blue light of approx. 450 nm and 100 mW/cm 2 .
  • the polymerization is completed after a time of 5 seconds to 60 seconds, normally 10 seconds illumination is sufficient.
  • the light-curing nail brace is applied.
  • the nail is held by the therapist by means of a tool in the desired position.
  • the application is made in the form of lines (see FIG. 1 ) with a line width of 2-6 mm.
  • the polymerization is started by illumination with the light source mentioned above. It is important, when doing so, to hold the nail in the desired shape. This step, too, is usually completed after a time of 5-60 seconds. Thereafter, the material can again be reground, so that no edges will be created, where fabric (e.g., stockings) could get caught. With strongly deformed or very strongly thickened nails, a multitude of such line-shaped applications can be performed.
  • very thick nails may also be ground preparatorily, so that the nail is deformable again. Grinding has, of course, to be performed before the priming process with the primer.
  • the photopolymer may also be applied in a correspondingly thicker layer.
  • a metallic spring brace may be applied. For this purpose, first, a drop of the light-curing material is applied as a point, and the spring brace is pressed into this drop ( FIG. 4 ). After light-curing of the drop, the spring brace is spanned over the nail and fixed by means of a second drop of the photopolymerizing material. The two ends of the metal brace should each be visible from the inside of the drop. In this embodiment, too, a preparation of the nail using the primer is required, since otherwise the durability of the construct on the nail cannot be guaranteed.
  • kit according to the invention it is also possible to enable another correction of a nail already treated with a metal brace.
  • the classical metal brace can be removed, and the nail is then further treated with the kit according to the invention.
  • compositions provided in the kit are preferably supplied in correspondingly designed containers.
  • containers for the primer, in principle, vials made of glass or plastic with an application brush are suitable.
  • the compositions for making light-curing nail braces are typically more viscous and are preferably supplied in cartridges for use together with a cartridge press or gun. All containers are preferably opaque.
  • the necessary materials are provided, in order to correct ingrown toenails or fingernails for humans or animals, without the drawbacks of prior art occurring.
  • the nail correction can be performed without the aid of metallic braces.
  • the composition according to the invention in particular, guarantees a clearly better adhesion to the nail than prior art compositions.
  • the advantages of a polymer can be combined with those of a metal brace, without the drawbacks occurring that frequently appeared in prior metal braces, in particular mechanical irritations of the nail bed.
  • the primer additionally includes one or more antimicotics.
  • antimicotics As has been found in practice, nails needing a correction are frequently infested by nail fungi causing additional problems. It is known that nail fungi cannot easily be treated. It turned out that the nail fungus treatment is successful, when the primer additionally includes one or more antimicotics.
  • the admixture is normally 0.1-2%, preferably 0.5-1%.
  • antimcotic generally compounds are suitable that are approved for the treatment of onychomycoses, such as, for instance, econazole, bifonazole, chlodrimazole, fenticonazole, ketocanazole, miconazole, oxiconazole, and related compounds.
  • the complementing addition of penetration amplifiers has proven successful.
  • the usual penetration amplifiers for nail penetration can be used.
  • Particularly successful for the present invention have proven penetration amplifiers based on substituted 1,3-dioxolanes, 1,5-dioxanes and acetals, in particular the substances and substance mixtures marketed under the trademark SEPA®.
