Safety Syringe

Safety Syringes provide for the safety of healthcare workers, custodial staff, and waste management personnel. Following an injection a sheath is placed over the needle or the needle retracts into the barrel protecting healthcare workers and others from accidental needlestick injuries.

SAFER® SYRINGE 

The Safer® Passive Safety Syringe with Retractable Needle has several safety features that ensure accurate dosing of the drug, allow the needle to automatically retract at the end of the injection, avoid contact between the operator and the patient, and prevent the reuse of the device.

Devices like the Safer® Passive Safety Syringe with Retractable Needle will eliminate the risk of re-use and, therefore, the possibility of cross-contamination between users. In addition, they will remove the NSI risk to healthcare workers, eradicate the problem of scavenging and resale, and dispel the risk of poor waste management.

Safety Suture Removal Devices

Scissors or scalpels have traditionally been used to cut sutures prior to removal. Safety Suture Removers reduce likelihood of sharps injuriese

Traditional suture removal has required the use of scissors/scalpels and forceps to cut and remove sutures. Newer products can slice through “cat-gut” without cutting clinicians, custodial staff or waste management workers.

Fascia closure is routinely performed in more than 4,000,000 surgical cases each year. New technologies virtually eliminate the risk of dangerous suture needle sticks in millions of surgical cases where stapling is not applicable, enabling surgeons with wound closure that is safer than suturing by hand.

ETHIGUARD BLUNT POINT NEEDLES

Protect yourself and your patients—without compromising performance

Better protection from needlestick injuries
ETHIGUARD Blunt Point Needle is an innovative solution that helps protect you and your patients from needlestick injuries, providing you with a better needle option.

A solution to a costly problem

  • Over 384,000 healthcare workers in the US suffer needlestick injuries each year, putting them at risk for hepatitis, HIV, and other serious diseases
  • The annual cost of needlestick injuries to hospitals is approximately $258 million
  • The follow-up costs for high-risk exposure needlestick injury is almost $3,000 even if no infection occurs
  • A 2007 New England Journal of Medicine study report found that 99% of surgical residents had at least one needlestick injury by their final year of training—53% involving high-risk patients
  • Four prospective randomized trials have demonstrated notable benefits from use of blunt suture needles
  • ETHIGUARD Blunt Point Needles and conventional taper point needles both have a 12:1 taper ratio

Choose protection without compromising performance
Decrease the incidence of injury

  • Blunt-point geometry allows for easy soft-tissue penetration

Minimize bleeding and tissue trauma

  • ETHIGUARD Blunt Point Needle does not cause any more additional bleeding or patient trauma than a conventional taper needle
  • Its heat-treated, stainless steel alloy delivers optimal strength and ductility to resist bending and breaking

Use with ease

  • ETHIGUARD Blunt Point Needle is proven to be effective and user-friendly7

Increase precision

  • A ribbed and flattened body affords stability in the needle holder, for improved protection against slipping

“Though cost is often cited as a factor for not using safer devices, it is actually a savings when you consider the cost of treating the individual once a [needlestick] injury occurs.”

The value you need with the protection they deserve

ETHIGUARD Blunt Point Needle meets the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act standards

A 2007 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) bulletin states that8:
— OSHA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health strongly recommend the use of blunt-tip suture needles in surgical procedures to reduce the risk of percutaneous injuries to surgical personnel
— Employers in workplaces that use suture needles must evaluate their use according to the Bloodborne Pathogens standard of blunt-tip suture needles

The American College of Surgeons declared in 2005 that8:
— “All published studies to date have demonstrated that the use of blunt suture needles can substantially reduce or eliminate needle-stick injuries from surgical needles.”

TechnoCut Plus® Safety Scalpel

The TechnoCut Plus® Safety Scalpel is truly a new generation innovation.
The traditional scalpel with a disposable blade is not without risk or safety: The attaching to or removing of the blade from the scalpel handle is a manual and rather cumbersome process, often resulting in injury. While there is an obvious risk to the nurse or doctor, the less obvious risk is that to the patient. If a nurse, surgeon or assistant is accidentally cut during the procedure, the patient is placed at significant risk.

  • Passing of a used scalpel with an exposed blade between a surgeon and theatre nurse is risky and any lapse in concentration can result in injury.
  • Blade protruding from sharps bins can also result in unnecessary injury.
  • Mislaid or dropped scalpel blades place all healthcare workers at risks.

Sandel Safety Scalpel with Protective Safety Shield.

Between 600,000 and 800,000 sharps injuries are incurred by healthcare workers annually. 46% of sharps injuries happen to nurses.

  • Disposable Safety scalpels
  • Protective Safety Shield OSHA requires it.
  • Colored-coded to ensure proper blade selection.

Safety Pre-filled Syringe

SAFER® REVERSE PREFILLED  SYRINGE 

The shielding system automatically activates after the injection, and the needle gets fully covered. Using just four plastic components and minimal manufacturing materials, SafeR® Reverse Prefilled Syringe is completely scalable and adaptable to the size of the existing syringe.

The design eliminates the need for stability studies since the drug doesn’t contact anything but the syringe.

Safety PICC Introducer

Safety Product Category

Safety PICC Introducer

A Safety PICC introducer is used to introduce a peripherally inserted central catheter into the vasculature of a patient. As the needle is removed a blunt obturator comes out of the sharp end thus minimizing the chance for unintentional needlestick.

Safety PICC Catheter Kit

Safety Product Category

Safety PICC Catheter Kit

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are frequently used to obtain central venous access for patients in acute care, home care and skilled nursing care. PICCs are a reliable alternative to short-term central venous catheters, with a lower risk of complications. A Safety PICC kit contains safety components that minimize needlestick injury and prevent blood-borne pathogen exposure.

Safety Pen Needle Remover

Safety Pen Needle Remover

A Safety Method to remove disposable pen needles.

UniGuard is the first single use, disposable safety pen needle remover. It has been designed to protect the healthcare professional from potentially fatal needlestick injuries.

Benefits

  • Safe: Allows the pen needle to be removed without the healthcare professional ever touching the needle directly.
  • Unique: ‘Push down’ entry to avoid point-first recapping incidents.
  • Secure: Safety flap to prevent back-end needlestick injuries and to prevent the removal of the used needle.
  • Shielded: Protective wings over finger grip area for extra protection.
  • Single Use: Protects against cross contamination by using a new device for each needle.
  • Clear Indicators: Audible click when the pen needle is seated correctly and when the hinged door is locked shut, signalling the needle is now securely locked away.
  • Extensive Protection: protects not only the nurse, but the patient, visitors and ancillary staff.

Safety Needle Recapping Devices

Safety Product Category

Safety Needle Recapping Device

The Bloodborne pathogen standard only permits recapping of contaminated needles under very specific and limited circumstances where no alternative is feasible, or that such action is required by a specific medical procedure, such as with incremental doses of medication or the injection of radioactive materials. When recapping must be performed, it must be accomplished by the use of a mechanical device or one-handed technique. Training must emphasize the need to use this as a one-handed recapping device.

Point-Lok® Device

Point-Lok® devices provide effective protection for needles from 16 – 30g that do not have an integral engineered sharps injury protection (ESIP) device. It is available seperately, or cane be packaged in Portex® Arterial Blood Sampling kits, pain management and other procedural trays.

Product Features

  • Stand-alone needle protection device designed to lock onto and secure a contaminated needle.
  • Meets the Federal Register definition of an Engineering Control
