Wringer Injury

A lesion once seen in children who fed clothes into—or played with—electrically driven laundry wringers and literally got ‘caught up’ in their work; similar injuries occur in industrial accidents—e.g., in hot rollers in a printing press or in rotating farm equipment. Wringer injuries may be accompanied by thermal injury, extensive crushing and ‘dirty’ infections—e.g., Clostridium spp contamination
