  • Patent number: 5881461
    Abstract: A nail cutter/clipper for use in treating ingrown nails, hang nails, and/or preventing ingrown nails. In a first embodiment, the nail/cutter includes first and second handles mated at a gudgeon in an X-shaped configuration. The first and second handles are joined to opposed nail cutter heads, and each nail cutter head has a V-shaped blade that defines a void or receptacle for receiving nail cuttings. The nail cutter heads cut a V-shaped notch in a nail when actuated by a user grasping the handles. A second embodiment includes an upper member joined to a lower member at a rearward end with a fastener. At their forward ends, these members each include a V-shaped cutter blade that defines a void, and when the cutter blades are forced together on a nail, a corresponding shaped notch is cut in the notch and the trimming is captured in the cutter blades.
