NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury which can lead to possible
amputation. It is important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO
NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some
coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic
surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
