Title: desferal leakage from skin
Post by: Dharmesh on January 17, 2013, 05:04:13 PM

This post is on behalf of my friend
What's to b done if desferal is coming outside from skin during infusion?
Skin, tape remains wet continuously
Desferal pump is used.
3 vials with 13 ml water has been used. Any solution ?

My guess would be either the needles your friend is using are faulty or they are not going deep enough in the skin.

Hi
Thanks

Perhaps it is a defective lot of the needle
