<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ingrown nail corrector capable of correcting an ingrown nail effectively and with stable correction force for a long period of time by a leverage effect. <P>SOLUTION: In the ingrown nail corrector, an ingrown nail correcting piece 1 and a lever piece 2 inclined obliquely upward to the rear at an angle in the range from 5 to 15 degrees are integrally set with a fulcrum 3 at the center, and a hook-shaped locking piece 1a is formed at the distal end of the ingrown nail correcting piece 1. Further, a rear nail wall covering piece 4 which is bent and inclined obliquely upward to the rear is integrally set at the rear end of the lever piece 2. By pushing the lever piece 2 downward and fixed with a fixing tape 6 with the locking piece 1a locked to the distal end of the ingrown nail B, the correction force in a direction of raising the ingrown nail B is generated in the locking piece 1a by the leverage effect, and this state is retained. At the same time, the skin of a rear nail wall B2 of a finger is covered and protected by the rear nail wall covering piece 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
