The present invention provides a corrector for a deformed nail capable of being easily inserted into near a root of the nail without giving pain to a patient when attaching the corrector even for a serious ingrown nail which is significantly deformed and curved or a deformed nail having an irregular shape on a lateral edge. Thus, a great effect of the correction can be obtained and the deformed nail can be prevented from occurring again. The corrector includes a band-shaped central region to be in contact with an upper surface of the nail; and an insertion edge region continuously extended from at least one end of the band-shaped central region to be inserted between a lateral nail edge and a lateral nail fold, wherein when a direction of a base side of the nail is defined as an upstream and a direction of a tip side of the nail is defined as a downstream in a state that the corrector is attached to the nail, a screw impeller-shaped portion having a specific shape and dimension is formed on a portion including an end portion of an upstream side of the insertion edge region and a hook portion is formed on a downstream side of the insertion edge region in comparison to the screw impeller-shaped portion to hold the lateral nail edge of the nail or a lateral edge of a nail tip.

A nail correcting device made of an elastic material includes: a pair of holding pieces arranged side by side in a predetermined direction; and a connecting piece connecting the holding pieces to each other, the pair of holding pieces each including: a body at least partly in an arc within a plane intersecting with the predetermined direction; and a pair of first and second distal edges connected to both ends of the body to hold a nail. The pair of first and second distal edges are spaced from each other along the predetermined direction at an inner side and an outer side.

An ingrown fingernail/toenail correction device using a shape memory alloy, includes a first fixing part configured to be fixed to an ingrown fingernail/toenail, a second fixing part configured to be fixed to the ingrown fingernail/toenail and spaced apart from the first fixing part at a predetermined distance, and a correction part inserted into the first fixing part and the second fixing part and made of a shape memory alloy so that when the correction part reaches a preset temperature, a shape of the correction part returns to a preset shape to provide a corrective force to the first fixing part and the second fixing part.

An orthopedic walker includes a body formed from at least one polymeric material and having a unitary construction. The body forms first and second portions divided by a median plane and connected to one another by a footbed. The first and second portions extend from the footbed and form an interior volume for receiving a foot and lower leg of a user. The first and second portions are arranged to articulate about or from the median plane to expand and retract the interior volume. The body consists of the first and second portions, and the footbed inclusive of an outsole having a tread as a continuous structure formed unitarily from the at least one polymeric material. The at least one polymeric material is an expanded thermoplastic.
