Re: tendon rupture

[Darnell Roth]

Has anyone on the list ever heard of or know of a written reference regarding  the common extensor tendons of the fingers being  ruptured secondary to venipuncture?    Darnell Roth -----           ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 7:28 AM Subject: needle safety  Have a situation where a family member wants the nurses in a long term care facility to use lancets for their mother that are not safety. Can anyone tell me how and where to find the law that states that all needle devices must be safety? Thanks in advance for the info as do not have the time to research on the web myself. This is why this site is wonderful, those of us that don't know can contact those that do.   Diane Jiles, RN-CRNI Check out AOL.com today. Breaking news, video search, pictures, email and IM.
