Adjustable nail bed splint

An adjustable nail bed splint configured to be fitted to any of a plurality of patient-specific nail beds of varying shapes, the adjustable nail bed splint comprising 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 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the splint plate configured to be adjusted for fitment to a patient-specific nail bed, the splint plate being 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;

• wherein the splint plate comprises a plurality of parallel longitudinal bending lines spaced apart along the lateral axis;
• wherein the splint plate comprises longitudinal segments between the longitudinal bending lines, and wherein by comparison, along the longitudinal bending lines and along the segments between the longitudinal bending lines, the splint plate differs in at least one of thickness, density, and composition.
