Are You Concerned About Needle-Stick Injuries & Safety in Practice?
More than 9 in 10 healthcare professionals experience needle-stick injuries in everyday procedures. [1]
Needle-stick and sharps injuries can have serious consequences. Incidental punctures by contaminated needles can inject hazardous fluids into the body through the skin. There is the potential for hazardous drugs to be injected, but contact with infectious fluids, especially blood, is by far the greatest concern. Even small amounts of infectious fluid can spread diseases.
