White, J.D., & Granberry, S., inventors; Wichita State University, assignee. Adjustable nail bed splint. United States patent US 20230218421 A1. 2023, July 13.
Abstract
An adjustable nail bed splint can be fitted to a plurality of patient-specific nail beds of varying shapes. The adjustable nail bed splint includes a splint plate having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion spaced apart along a longitudinal axis and first and second longitudinal edge margins spaced apart along a lateral axis. The splint plate is adjustable for fitment to a patient-specific nail bed. The splint plate is stiffer along the longitudinal axis than along the lateral axis to facilitate deforming the splint plate laterally to generally conform to a lateral curvature of the patient-specific nail bed. A kit for splinting nail beds includes an adjustable nail bed splint within sterile packaging. The adjustable nail bed splint is configured to be fitted to a plurality of patient-specific nail beds of varying shapes.
