If you go to the Histotech's Portal (histology.to) under the section
Peggy's Link to Histology Resources on the WWW one catagory is
Repetitive Motion Disorder and Latex Allergies. It looks like this
section is from Leica's web site and it lists articles and ways to
prevent the problem.
We sell more of our motorized microtomes for health reasons than for
cutting of hard tissue. So this is a big problem for employers who
can't afford to pay when an employee is on disablity.

A few years ago I was aware of debate in histology laboratories regarding
the repeditive stress injuries caused by continued use of microtomes, but
didn't keep any of the relevant literature. Can anyone refere me to relevant
literature or websites, or is there anyone who has suffered any repeditive
strain injuries.
I would love to hear from you so I can convince our pathologists that it
does exist. Thanks.
