System, devices, and methods for correcting ingrown nails are disclosed. A system includes a first anchor and a second anchor configured to be coupled to opposing sides of an ingrown nail of an end user. A first brace and a second brace are configured to be removably coupled to respective ones of the first and second anchors. An elastic loop is secured between the protrusions of the braces to apply continuous tension to the braces. The tension is distributed to the nail through the anchors to which the braces are coupled. The amount of tension applied to the nail can be selected by selecting different elastic loops to attach to the braces. The tension provided by the elastic loops corrects the ingrown nail over time without pain to the user.

The self-adjusting tool (10) for correcting ingrown toenail uses self-adjusting elastic tension to lift the ingrown ends (N1, N2) of an ingrown toenail (N). In a first embodiment, the self-adjusting tool (10) includes two identical leaf springs (12a, 12b), each having a flat end (16a, 16b) and a band (14a, 14b) forming a flat loop at the opposite end. The two springs (12a, 12b) are interlocked by sliding the flat end (16a, 16b) of one spring through the band (14a, 14b) of the other, and the free ends (16a, 16b) are glued to lateral edges of the ingrown toenail (N) to flatten the toenail (N) by self-adjusting elastic tension. Other embodiments show at least one resilient member flexed across the ingrown toenail and anchored at opposite lateral edges on the ingrown toenail to pull the ingrown edges of the toenail away from engagement with the toe.

A surgical kit for the repair of a nail bed includes implantable nail plate guides adapted to guide the regrowth of a fingernail over a nail bed, drapes, a suture needle with absorbable suture, a suture needle with non-absorbable suture, wound dressings, and all instruments required to perform the procedure. The instruments preferably include an elevator, a needle driver, a clamp, a tweezers, and a scissors. The kit also includes anesthesia, a syringe, and needles for loading and then administering the anesthesia to the finger. The kit may include a tourniquet, antiseptic, and an antiinfective. Therefore, the kit assembles together several nail plate guides, the instruments for implanting a selected one of the nail plate guides onto the nail bed over a patient, the pre-implantation surgical preparation materials, and the post-implantation wound care materials.

Provide a correcting device capable of being placed onto a nail without applying an excessive force to the nail or of being properly applicable for correcting nails having different sizes. The correcting device includes a left arm and a right arm, each having an engageable part disposed on a free end so as to be engageable with a side edge of a nail; and a fulcrum member disposed between the left and right arms and having a lower end serving as an abutting part for contact with the nail. The fulcrum member includes a shaft part combined with the base member so as to be vertically movable with respect to the base member by screw movement, a movable member combined with the shaft part so as to be vertically movable with respect to the shaft part and having the abutting part under the shaft part, and an urging member interposed between the shaft part and the movable member so as to urge the movable member. The abutting part extends in left and right directions and has projections disposed on left and right edges such that the projections are adapted to be abutted against the nail while the abutting part is not abutted against the nail between the left and right projections.
