nail removal

Claw hammer work

Nail removal is the extraction of a nail—either from a surface where it was driven, or from a finger or toe.

In construction, nail removal uses tools like claw hammers or pry bars to pull embedded fasteners.

In medicine, nail removal is a procedure to extract a damaged or infected fingernail or toenail, sometimes performed under local anesthesia: The podiatrist recommended nail removal after the fungal infection wouldn't clear.
