ABSTRACT:
A method for correcting ingrown toenails includes covering at least a portion of the upper surface of a toenail to be treated with an adhesive, placing a resilient sheet of fibrous reinforced material on the adhesive, where the material is fracturable in a direction cross-wise of the direction of growth of the toenail, and bending the lateral edges of the material downwardly to contact and adhere to the side edges of the toenail. When in place, the material urges the side edges of the toenail upwardly to thereby tend to flatten the toenail and eliminate the involution of the edges of the nail.
