✏️ABOUT THIS CASE👇

Patient who is around 22 years old with a nail with a abrupt edge and who comes to the consultation with lateral onychocryptosis in the right hallux and granuloma in the lateral groove, because the nail was cut incorrectly.

I proceed very carefully to decompress the area and remove the spicule embedded in the groove.

Once this is done, I proceed with the bandage, and I indicate the daily care that must be taken until definitive healing.

Spicule extraction is a fascinating process rooted in marine biology and materials science, focusing on the removal of spicules—tiny, needle-like structures—from sponges. These skeletal elements, made of silica or calcium carbonate, give sponges their structure and support. Extracting them offers insights into sponge biology and unlocks potential applications in biomedicine and engineering.

The process begins with collecting sponges from their natural habitats, typically shallow ocean waters. Once harvested, the organic tissue must be separated from the spicules. This is often done by soaking the sponge in a chemical solution, like bleach or hydrogen peroxide, which dissolves the soft tissue while leaving the durable spicules intact. After rinsing away debris, the spicules are filtered and dried, revealing a collection of microscopic rods or stars, depending on the species.

Scientists study these spicules for their unique properties—lightweight yet strong, they inspire innovations like biocompatible scaffolds for tissue engineering or advanced composites. The extraction, though straightforward, requires precision to preserve spicule integrity, as damage can skew research results or applications.

Beyond science, spicule extraction connects us to nature’s ingenuity. Sponges, simple yet resilient, have thrived for millions of years, their spicules a testament to evolutionary design. This humble process bridges the gap between ancient oceans and modern labs, turning tiny fossils of life into tools for tomorrow.
