    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • High-pressure injection injuries from paint-guns are severe and disabling.
    • Existing literature documents 43 cases of paint-gun injection injuries.
    • Epoxy resins are increasingly used in heavy industry and pose a novel injury risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on four new cases of high-pressure injection injuries caused by epoxy resins from paint-guns.
    • To analyze the specific effects and morbidity associated with epoxy resin paint-gun injuries.
    • To contribute to the understanding of industrial trauma related to new material applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting.
    • Clinical review of four patients with epoxy resin paint-gun injuries.
    • Literature review of existing paint-gun injury cases.

    Main Results:

    • The four new cases demonstrate the severe disabling potential of epoxy resin paint-gun injuries.
    • These injuries exhibit a high morbidity rate, consistent with previous reports.
    • Epoxy resins present unique challenges in managing these injection injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • Epoxy resin paint-gun injuries represent a significant occupational hazard with high morbidity.
    • Early recognition and aggressive management are crucial for these severe trauma cases.
    • Further research is needed to understand long-term outcomes and optimize treatment strategies for epoxy resin injection injuries.
