Abstract
Background: Acrylates are plastic materials that are formed by the polymerization of monomers that are derived from acrylic or methacrylic acid; they have a wide range of applications, and they are increasingly used in medicine.
Case report: We are reporting two clinical cases of contact dermatitis in the hospital environment; the first one is about a nurse (occupational exposure) and, the second one, about a patient who experienced contact dermatitis after a diagnostic procedure was performed.
Conclusion: New sources of acrylates are identified every year due to the multiple uses of these synthetic resins; these materials are included in medical devices, both for orthopedic diagnosis or follow-up (telemetry, electrodes of electroencephalographs) and treatment (bone cement), as well as for surgery.
