?:definition
  • Devices designed to apply mechanical force to toenails for the purpose of treating ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) by reducing the curvature of the nail. These devices typically apply upward force at the toenail\'s lateral margins; some devices also apply a downward force at the toenail\'s midline. The devices may consist of a single-use flexible strip that is glued to the upper nail surface and applies lifting force as the strip attempts to straighten. Alternatively, these devices may consist of reusable assemblies consisting of a screw onto which is threaded a metal bar with two articulated nail graspers at its distal ends. The distal ends of the nail graspers are hooked underneath the lateral nail edge, and the screw is turned until it pushes down on the upper nail surface, pushing down on the nail midline and pulling up on the lateral edge through force transferred to the nail graspers.
