Catheter irrigation as an unutilized novelty in the treatment of water-based paint injection injuries – a case illustration

High-pressure injection injuries with paint have long been heralded as a condition requiring timely and aggressive debridement with relatively poor functional outcomes and a significant proportion of patients progressing to require amputation of the involved digit or limb. Catheter irrigation is reg...
