Saturation divers regularly inspect North Sea installations, working at depth for periods of 12-16 days. Diver's hand is a particular problem in saturation diving, and there is no effective protection or treatment available. This paper presents the occurrence of diver's hand and describes the disease in clinical and epidemiological terms. Three studies of diver's hand have been carried out, in 1990, 1994, and 1995. Most long term saturation divers have had diver's hand at some time in their professional career. Diver's hand seems able to occur without any previous skin symptoms, and divers without diver's hand can have several other skin symptoms during a saturation period. It is likely that diver's hand is a specific phenomenon associated with saturation diving.
饱和潜水员定期检查北海的设施，在水下工作12至16天。潜水员手部问题在饱和潜水中尤为突出，且目前尚无有效的防护或治疗方法。本文介绍了潜水员手部问题的发生情况，并从临床和流行病学角度描述了该疾病。1990年、1994年和1995年分别进行了三项关于潜水员手部问题的研究。大多数长期饱和潜水员在其职业生涯中的某个时候都曾出现过潜水员手部问题。潜水员手部问题似乎可以在没有任何先前皮肤症状的情况下出现，而没有潜水员手部问题的潜水员在饱和潜水期间可能会出现其他几种皮肤症状。潜水员手部问题很可能是一种与饱和潜水相关的特定现象。
