ABSTRACT:
A nail boring device uses a common drill bit to penetrate a traumatized nail having collected fluids trapped below it. A novel depth of penetration control device is used with the bit to assure that a bored hole is only as deep as necessary and that the process may proceed in small steps acceptable to the patient. A method of approach necessary to the successful use of the device is described.
