ABSTRACT:
A device and process for treatment of ingrowing nails or felons includes a thin flexible inert body of flat, substantially rectangular configuration. The body is folded at least once in a first configuration to define a dihedric angular body. In another preferred form, the device is folded twice to form a double walled construction. In the present treatment, a portion of the nail is first separated from the affected underlying epidermis area of the affected finger or toe. Next, the device is held with the fold thereof aligned with the released edge of the nail, and is inserted over the released edge of the nail. The nail is received between facing surfaces of the device, with the released nail edge extending inside the fold between the facing surfaces. The device is positioned such that the folded surfaces of the device overlap the affected area and the released nail edge is held away from the affected area. The device is allowed to remain in position on the nail until the affected area heals and then for an extended time beyond initial healing to assure rehabilitation of the adjacent tissues before the nail is allowed contact, thereby avoiding a relapse.
