Cut fingers how to#
If your doctor told you how to care for your cut, follow your doctor's instructions.Your doctor will tell you when it's safe to get the cut wet. Don't soak the cut, such as in a bathtub.After this, you can shower if your doctor okays it. Keep the cut dry for the first 24 to 48 hours.If you notice any problems or new symptoms, get medical treatment right away. The doctor has checked you carefully, but problems can develop later. The doctor may suggest that you see a hand specialist if the cut is very deep or if you have trouble moving your fingers or have less feeling in your hand. You will need to have the stitches removed, usually in 7 to 14 days. The stitches in the upper layer are the ones you see on the cut. These stitches will dissolve and don't need to be removed. The deeper layer brings the deep part of the cut together. If the cut went deep and through the skin, the doctor put in two layers of stitches. The doctor may have given you a splint to help prevent you from moving your hand, fingers, or thumb. Using stitches also helps the cut heal and reduces scarring.
The doctor used stitches to close the cut. Sometimes a cut can injure the tendons, blood vessels, or nerves of your hand. But in this chain there’s a break in people that can make those changes and people that are affected, so it’s not done.A cut on your hand can be on your fingers, your thumb, or the front or back of your hand. Societally if there was an opportunity to spend $5 to save $10, we’d want to do that. Because of that, there’s not that much incentive to improve the safety of these tools. There’s a disconnect - these costs are borne by individuals, the medical system, workers comp - and not paid by the power tools company. This is a product that does almost 10x in damage as the market size. The market for table saws is about $200-400M. The CPSC says table saws result in about $4B in damage annually.
Almost a societal economic structure question. The fundamental question came down to economics. The whole interview is worth a read - like this bit about why big tool companies were not interested in licensing this feature: because they aren’t liable for the injuries caused by their products: Thankfully it worked!Īnd because what the saw is detecting is “the capacitance of the human body”, you have to be holding the hot dog in order for the demo to work.
So before the first trade show I had to test it with my actual finger. You can imagine, we could do this demo at trade shows with a hot dog, but there’s always a smart-ass that says they don’t care about hot dogs, and wanted to see it with a finger. There was a point where we had to know a hotdog was a good surrogate for a finger. Once we started spinning the blade, I wasn’t too eager to do that test with my finger, so we just thought ‘what do we have that’s sort of finger like with similar electrical properties’ - hot dogs are similar, and I had one in the fridge, so I grabbed one and ran it into the blade. What was the first thing? It was probably a stationary blade with me just touching it with my finger. Where did this demo idea come from? From the interview: Signs are available in a wide variety of materials and sizes. The minuscule amount of damage to the hot dog is mind-blowing. Keep machine operators safe with these Machine Operation Hazard Signs from Graphic Products. Before we get to that, you’ve probably seen the company’s hot dog demo but if you haven’t, check out these super slow-motion clips of the SawStop blades stopping in a matter of milliseconds after making contact:
