Hand-held conducted energy devices, such as the TASER 7 (Axon Enterprise, Inc), are commonly used by law enforcement as a method of "non-lethal" force. However, their use may result in serious injuries. The authors report a case where a TASER 7 barb became embedded in the left supraorbital frontal bone during a field incident. Initial removal attempts were unsuccessful when the cylindrical cartridge broke off. Ultimately, the barb was successfully removed at bedside with a Kocher clamp and firm, constant in-line traction under local anesthesia at a tertiary hospital. This case highlights the potential complications associated with conducted energy devices and provides a bedside removal technique that avoids the need for operative intervention.
手持传导能量装置，如泰瑟7型（Axon企业公司），被执法部门普遍用作一种“非致命”武力手段。然而，其使用可能导致严重伤害。作者报告了一例在现场事件中泰瑟7型的倒刺嵌入左眶上额骨的病例。当圆柱形弹药筒折断时，最初的取出尝试未成功。最终，在一家三级医院的局部麻醉下，使用柯赫尔钳并通过牢固、持续的直线牵引，在床边成功取出了倒刺。该病例突出了与传导能量装置相关的潜在并发症，并提供了一种避免手术干预的床边取出技术。
