MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically
as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with
some exotic coatings injected directly into the bloodstream.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is on the body, whether the
substance hit something on its way in and deflected causing more damage, and many
other variables including skin microflora residing in the paint or gun which are blasted into
the wound. If the injected paint contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide that damage
the tissue’s resistance to infection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatment that
doctors recommend for an injection injury to the hand includes immediate decompression
of the closed vascular compartments of the hand to release the underlying tissue
distended by the injected paint, judicious wound debridement, and immediate antibiotic
treatment.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
•
Ground all conductive equipment. Use only grounded air and fluid hoses. Check
equipment and workpiece grounding devices regularly. Resistance to ground must not
exceed one megohm.
• Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice static sparking or arcing. Do not
restart the equipment until the cause has been identified and corrected.
•
Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable materials are being
used or stored.
• Do not heat materials to temperatures above those recommended by the
manufacturer. Make sure heat monitoring and limiting devices are working properly.
