    Chemical burns due to blood pressure cuff sterilized with ethylene oxide
    (Elsevier, 2000) Karacalar, Serap Akın; Karacalar, Ahmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Plastik ve Rekonstrüktif Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı/El Cerrahisi Bilim Dalı.; 7004405636
    This paper reports two unusual instances of ethylene oxide burns that were caused by the blood pressure cuff sterilized with ethylene oxide. It is suggested that the mechanical compression caused by the blood pressure cuff facilitated penetration of ethylene oxide residues into tissues and contributed to the degree of tissue damage.
