During the last 4 years, three infants have presented with finger-tip injuries secondary to entrapment in woollen/synthetic mittens. The accident happened at home in one case but the other two occurred in different neonatal units. Spontaneous amputation of the terminal phalanx of the index finger occurred in two patients but in the other there was complete healing. This problem may be avoided by restricting the use of mittens, by changing their design, and by a greater awareness of this hazard.
在过去4年中，有3名婴儿因被羊毛/合成手套夹住而出现指尖损伤。其中1例事故发生在家中，另外2例发生在不同的新生儿病房。2例患者食指末节指骨自发截肢，但另1例完全愈合。通过限制手套的使用、改变其设计以及提高对这种危险的认识，可以避免这个问题。
