Single blade nail cutter

A nail cutter comprising:

• a blade including a cutting edge;
• a unitary body comprising:
• a first member, wherein the blade extends from a proximal end of the first member;
• a second member, wherein a proximal end of the second member is disposed opposite the cutting edge of the blade, wherein the second member does not include a blade;
• a third member;
• and
• a plurality of flexible hinges configured such that, when a proximal end of the third member is transitioned from a first position to a second position, the unitary body flexes at the plurality of flexible hinges so as to decrease a distance between the cutting edge of the blade and the proximal end of the second member,
• wherein a distal end of the second member is joined to a distal end of the third member by a first flexible hinge of the plurality of flexible hinges.

A nail cutter comprising:

• a unitary body formed as a single integral component comprising:
• a blade including a cutting edge;
• a first member, wherein the blade extends from a proximal end of the first member;
• a second member, wherein a proximal end of the second member is disposed opposite the cutting edge of the blade, wherein the second member does not include a blade;
• a third member;
• a fourth member, wherein the fourth member connects the first member to the third member, wherein a proximal end of the fourth member is joined to a middle portion of the first member between the proximal end of the first member and a distal end of the first member;
• and
• a plurality of flexible hinges configured such that, when a proximal end of the third member is transitioned from a first position to a second position, the unitary body flexes at the plurality of flexible hinges so as to decrease a distance between the cutting edge of the blade and the proximal end of the second member.
