Claim:
A pincer nail correction tool for remedying a pincer nail of a toe as the nail grows by integrally bonding a necessary part of the correction tool, which is separated from an operating flat plate of the correction tool, to the pincer nail, the tool comprising: the operating flat plate having a first surface, an opposite second surface and end faces, to be gripped before the necessary part is bonded to the pincer nail and rotated in a direction in which the pincer nail is remedied; a thin-sheet abutting portion having an outer surface to be exposed to a user and projecting straight toward a distal end, the outer surface extending from the first surface of the operating flat plate; a thin-sheet engaging portion having a contact surface to be touched to the skin of the user and projecting straight toward the distal end, the contact surface shorter and narrower than a projecting length and width of the abutting portion extending from the second surface of the operating flat plate; and a bottom portion extending from one end face of the operating flat plate toward the distal end and connecting the abutting portion to the engaging portion, whereby the abutting portion, the engaging portion, and the bottom portion form a J-shaped cross-section, wherein the engaging portion includes a base part extending from the operating flat plate in a direction toward the distal end and a tip part extending from the base part toward the distal end, wherein the tip part being narrower than a width of the base part, and wherein the necessary part of the correction tool, which is bonded to the pincer nail and is separated from an operating flat plate, is formed of the abutting portion, the engaging portion, and the bottom portion.
