The first documented mention of a needlestick injury (NSI) in the medical literature appeared in 1906. Despite growth in academic and clinical interest for NSI prevention, a global report identified that approximately 3 million healthcare workers have suffered percutaneous exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Legislation is an important component of NSI prevention. Unfortunately, the impact of legislation may not always reduce the incidence of NSI as much as expected. Safety-engineered device (SED) implementation has demonstrated a substantial reduction in NSI rates compared with non-SEDs. More importantly, passive SEDs are 10 times less likely to be connected with an NSI incident.
医学文献中首次记录到针刺伤（needlestick injury，NSI）是在 1906 年。尽管学术界和临床领域对 NSI 预防的兴趣日益增加，但全球报告显示，大约有 300 万医护人员曾遭受过血源性病原体的经皮暴露。立法是 NSI 预防的一个重要组成部分。不幸的是，立法的影响并不总是如预期的那样降低 NSI 的发生率。与非安全型设备（safety-engineered device，SED）相比，安全型设备的实施显著降低了 NSI 发生率。更重要的是，被动安全型设备发生 NSI 事件的可能性要低 10 倍。
