Needlestick injury (NSI) is an important although rare cause of the transmission of blood-borne viruses to healthcare staff. Many NSIs are avoidable. The use of universal precautions and careful sharps disposal are key factors in the prevention of injury. The availability of safety devices is increasing as it is recognized that action is necessary to prevent NSI. Devices that are easy to use and require no extra effort on behalf of the healthcare worker are preferred. There is evidence that safety devices decrease the rate of NSI. Zero-Stik Safety Syringe, manufactured by New Medical Technology, automatically retracts the needle once the injection is complete. It is simple to use and requires no formal training.
针刺伤是医护人员感染血源性病原体的一个重要但罕见的原因。许多针刺伤是可以避免的。采取普遍预防措施以及谨慎处理锐器是预防针刺伤的关键因素。随着人们认识到必须采取行动预防针刺伤，安全装置的可及性正在提高。易于使用且医护人员无需额外费力操作的装置更受青睐。有证据表明安全装置可降低针刺伤发生率。由新医疗技术公司生产的零刺痛安全注射器在注射完成后会自动缩回针头。它使用简便，无需接受正规培训。
