Hospital employees are at risk for numerous possible complications of accidental needlesticks. The mechanisms of such accidents suggest that many are preventable. This article presents a simple but novel revision of the needlecap which facilitates resheathing of a used needle. With routine use the hospital environment could be made safer for virtually all employees at almost no additional cost. Ultimate hospital savings could be significant through prevention of injury.
医院员工面临着因意外针刺而引发多种并发症的风险。此类事故的发生机制表明，许多事故是可以预防的。本文介绍了一种简单而新颖的针帽改进设计，它便于将使用过的针头重新套回。通过常规使用，几乎无需额外成本就能让医院环境对所有员工而言更加安全。通过预防伤害，医院最终可节省大量费用。
