Efficacy of Hexafluorine® decontamination in treating hydrofluoric acid eye burns.
Author(s)
Dermal splashes with 50% or more concentrated hydrofluoric acid (HF) may result in immediate intense pain and rapid tissue destruction. Facial exposures are particularly dangerous. Early water decontamination followed or not by calcium gluconate application do not always prevent sequelae, including death. The use of Hexafluorine® allows avoidance of classically-described burns because of its specific physical and chemical properties.
