Devices And Methods For Contacting Keratinaceous Nails With Solutions

摘要

Methods and devices for contacting a keratinaceous-based nail and/or a coating on such a nail comprise placement over the nail and/or coating a cover that is sized to cover all or at least a portion of a keratinaceous-based nail, from the nail bed to the tip of the nail, the cover being structured to apply an elastically-deflected downward force on the nail to provide the nail with a complete and comprehensive contact with an absorbent member positioned against an inside surface of the cover and carrying a quantum of fluid material for contacting with the nail or a coating on the mail, maintaining contact of the fluid material to the keratinaceous-based nail or coating by operation of the elastically-deflected downward force of the cover applied to the nail or nail coating.

主权项

1. A method of contacting a keratinaceous-based nail with a solution, comprising:
providing a cover sized to substantially enclose a keratinaceous-based nail from the nail bed to the tip of the nail and from one side of the nail to the other side of the nail, the cover being structured to apply an elastically deflected downward force on the nail; providing an absorbent member positioned against an inside surface of the cover, the absorbent member having retained therein a fluid material; providing a keratinaceous-based nail; inserting the keratinaceous-based nail within the cover to position the absorbent member against the nail or a coating applied to the nail; and maintaining contact between the fluid material and the keratinaceous-based nail by operation of the elastically-deflected downward force of the cover applied to the keratinaceous-based nail.
