A groin flap sling was designed to permit better hygiene, wound care, mobility, and additional splinting for operative procedures upon the hand. We have fabricated 14 slings without complications to either abdominal or groin flaps. While wearing the sling, the patient is comfortable throughout the time the flap is attached. Joint stiffness and edema are minimal.
Condensable effluents from the thermal decomposition of a typical green sand foundry mold were investigated for the presence of emissions that could present health hazards in a foundry atmosphere. The benzene-soluble fraction extracted from the condensate was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Over 200 compounds were observed on the chromatograms and benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(e)pyrene and perylene were identified. The concentrations of these materials were not determined, but their presence in foundry atmospheres represents in area of potential concern for health welfare.
