PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily correct the ingrown nail.SOLUTION: A correction tool for the ingrown nail is such that: a nail fitting part 20 is made by bending a metal plate a main board part 21 and a sub board part 22 of a short length are formed in parallel via a connection plate 23 and the main board part 21 and the sub board part 22 can be elastically opened. The top face of the main board part 21 is provided with a lateral groove 24 and a vertical groove 25 for engaging a connection material 30. The connection material 30 comprises a metallic body of an ultra elastic body or a shape memory body. The connection material 30 is fixed to the main board part 21 after engaging the edge of the connection material 30 with the lateral groove 24 of the main board part 21. The ingrown nail is corrected by using a function that the connection material 30 is restored to a linear line by elastically holding the ingrown nail between the main board part 21 and the sub board part 22 by pushing the two nail fitting parts 20 into both sides of the ingrown nail. It is also possible to use by changing the direction of the nail fitting part 20 to the ingrown nail and engaging the connection material 30 with the vertical groove 25.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】陥入爪を容易に矯正する。【解決手段】爪取付部20は金属板を屈曲させて成り、主基板部21と長さが短い副基板部22とが連結板23を介して平行に形成されており、主基板部21と副基板部22は弾性的に拡開できるようにされている。主基板部21の上面には、接続材30を嵌合する横溝24と縦溝25が設けられている。 接続材30は超弾性体又は形状記憶体の金属体から成っている。接続材30の端部を主基板部21の横溝24に嵌合した後に、接続材30を主基板部21に固定する。2つの爪取付部20を陥入爪の両側に押し込むことにより、主基板部21副基板部22とで陥入爪を弾性的に挟持し、接続材30が直線に復元する機能を利用して陥入爪を矯正する。 また、爪取付部20の陥入爪に対する向きを変え、縦溝25に接続材30を嵌合して使用することもできる。【選択図】図1
