Title: Re: tendon rupture

site was note as "in dorsum of hand"  - surgeon's report "the common extensor tendons of the index, long and ring fingers were found to be completely ruptured"  no problems prior to IV being established - I am totally perplexed   Darnell ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynn Hadaway To: Darnell Roth ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 11:36 AM Subject: Re: tendon rupture Never heard of this! If the site was in the fingers, I would have to look at what they did to stabilize the catheter and support the joints.

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.
