PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily correct the ingrown nail.SOLUTION: A correction tool for the ingrown nail is such that: a nail fitting part 20 is made by bending a metal plate; a main board part 21 and a sub board part 22 of a short length are formed in parallel via a connection plate 23; and the main board part 21 and the sub board part 22 can be elastically opened. The top face of the main board part 21 is provided with a lateral groove 24 and a vertical groove 25 for engaging a connection material 30. The connection material 30 comprises a metallic body of an ultra elastic body or a shape memory body. The connection material 30 is fixed to the main board part 21 after engaging the edge of the connection material 30 with the lateral groove 24 of the main board part 21. The ingrown nail is corrected by using a function that the connection material 30 is restored to a linear line by elastically holding the ingrown nail between the main board part 21 and the sub board part 22 by pushing the two nail fitting parts 20 into both sides of the ingrown nail. It is also possible to use by changing the direction of the nail fitting part 20 to the ingrown nail and engaging the connection material 30 with the vertical groove 25.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】陥入爪を容易に矯正する。【解決手段】爪取付部２０は金属板を屈曲させて成り、主基板部２１と長さが短い副基板部２２とが連結板２３を介して平行に形成されており、主基板部２１と副基板部２２は弾性的に拡開できるようにされている。主基板部２１の上面には、接続材３０を嵌合する横溝２４と縦溝２５が設けられている。接続材３０は超弾性体又は形状記憶体の金属体から成っている。接続材３０の端部を主基板部２１の横溝２４に嵌合した後に、接続材３０を主基板部２１に固定する。２つの爪取付部２０を陥入爪の両側に押し込むことにより、主基板部２１副基板部２２とで陥入爪を弾性的に挟持し、接続材３０が直線に復元する機能を利用して陥入爪を矯正する。また、爪取付部２０の陥入爪に対する向きを変え、縦溝２５に接続材３０を嵌合して使用することもできる。【選択図】図１
