[Histonet] Wrist Pain

[Terri Braud]

This is an repetitive stress injury and is not to be trifled with.  I know that I have a tech that occasionally uses a wrist brace to embed, but also to sleep with at night. 
I strongly recommend using ergonomic friendly embedding forceps available from selected Histology supply companies.  Also, for the technician to be seen by your employers occupational health provider for appropriate documentation and follow-up.  
Sincerely, Terri
