A hydraulic injection injury is a severe injury that can lead to extreme tissue damage and in some cases, a loss of limb. It usually happens when an employee repairing a hydraulic system suddenly experiences a searing, stinging pain. They pull back their gloves and see a small puncture hole that doesn\u2019t seem to be hurting. But with time, the wound swells and starts causing severe pain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If the issue becomes more serious and the first-aid treatments prove to be ineffective, the workers experiencing this injury will likely find themselves in the hospital. In many cases, people who have suffered from a severe hydraulic injection injury might have to go into surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A hydraulic injection injury, also known as a hydraulic fluid injection injury, is a serious medical condition that occurs when high-pressure hydraulic fluid is forcefully injected into a person\u2019s body. In such incidents, there is a 16% to 48% chance<\/a> that the person injured would have to go through amputation. Hydraulic fluid is commonly used in hydraulic systems, such as those found in heavy machinery, construction equipment, and industrial tools. It is estimated that there are 600 such incidents every year in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These injuries typically happen when there is a breach or rupture in a hydraulic system, and the pressurized hydraulic fluid is accidentally injected into a person\u2019s skin or underlying tissues. The hydraulic fluid is usually under extreme pressure, often exceeding 1,000 psi (pounds per square inch), which allows it to penetrate the skin and underlying tissues with great force. The impact of hydraulic fluid on skin is potentially harmful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
