Sharps injuries can transmit blood-borne infections and are a serious health risk to nurses and other health professionals. However, there is limited data on the incidence of these injuries in the UK, and low awareness of the risks they pose. New products with enhanced safety features are becoming available but their introduction should be accompanied by education and training to improve practice in relation to sharps and their disposal.
锐器伤可传播血源性感染，对护士和其他医护人员构成严重的健康风险。然而，关于英国这些伤害的发生率的数据有限，且对其带来的风险认识不足。具有增强安全特性的新产品正在上市，但在引入这些产品的同时应开展教育和培训，以改进与锐器及其处理相关的操作规范。
