Abstract

Assessment of Hand-Cut Injuries among Pathologists and the Efficacy of Cut-Resistant Gloves in Preventing Them

Highlights

  • Pathologists pass their time mainly on grossing surgical specimens or reading tissue slides

  • We strongly recommend the use of such gloves, especially when handling a fresh surgical specimen

  • We evaluate the prevalence of hand-cut injuries among pathologists in four french university hospital anatomic pathology laboratories (Amiens university hospital, Cean university hospital, Lille university hospital and Rouen university hospital)

Summary

Introduction

Pathologists pass their time mainly on grossing surgical specimens or reading tissue slides. We evaluate the prevalence of hand-cut injuries among pathologists in four french university hospital anatomic pathology laboratories (Amiens university hospital, Cean university hospital, Lille university hospital and Rouen university hospital). These university hospitals were chosen because they are administratively grouped together. Due to the unavailability of detailed report about each hand injury, we were forced to conduct this study using a survey questionnaire. This is an important limitation of our study
