ABSTRACT:
An artificial nail includes an acrylic top layer mounted on a collagen support layer in the form of a mesh. The proximal end of the nail includes a plurality of anchor points, preferably three semi-circular anchor points. The proper size nail is selected by use of sizers. The toe or finger is prepared for implantation of the artificial nail by a puncturing tool which has a pattern of tines on its flat base.
