Abstract:	This paper reports two unusual instances of ethylene oxide burns that were caused by the blood pressure cuff sterilized with ethylene oxide. It is suggested that the mechanical compression caused by the blood pressure cuff facilitated penetration of ethylene oxide residues into tissues and contributed to the degree of tissue damage.
