A technique of acrylic nail fixation in multilayered silicone finger prostheses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique for the secure fixation of acrylic nails in multilayered silicone finger prostheses is described. The secure fixation of the nail to the prosthesis is achieved by a method of "sandwiching" portions of the nail between the silicone layers of the prosthesis akin to the overlapping of the nail by the anatomical nail fold and nail wall. In addition the use of a cynoacrylate adhesive ensures strong surface to surface bonding.

متن کاملThe effect of acrylic nails on the measurement of oxygen saturation as determined by pulse oximetry.
Pulse oximetry (Spo2) is a simple, noninvasive method that is widely used to determine oxygen saturation in patients undergoing surgical procedures. Artificial acrylic nails have recently become fashionable to strengthen and lengthen nails. This study investigates the effect of unpolished acrylic nails on the measurement of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry. Data were collected during a 3-mon...

متن کاملNail Fixation of Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus (PH) fractures are among the most fracture types. Surgery is indicated in displaced fractures. The charge-book for surgical management of PH fractures is restoring PH anatomy, obtaining stable osteosynthesis, and conserving PH vascularization. Proximal humerus nailing is an osteosynthesis technique we have been using since 2000. Our initial indication for using a nail for PH fr...
