Abstract

Seventeen insulin-dependent diabetics reused 111 disposable plastic syringes (Terumo 40/80-U; detachable needle) a total of 2363 times. Each syringe was used for an average of 12.2 days (range, one to 80 days), making an average of 21.3 injections each (range, two to 126 injections). There were no injection-related infections or local reactions. Six syringes from four patients were contaminated by non-pathogenic skin organisms (Staphylococcus albus and Bacillus spp.) without any detrimental effects. Contamination was independent of duration of syringe use or skin preparation technique. The reuse of plastic disposable insulin syringes appears to be a safe, cost-saving practice.

摘要

17名胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者重复使用了111支一次性塑料注射器（泰尔茂40/80-U；可拆卸针头），总共使用了2363次。每支注射器平均使用12.2天（范围为1至80天），平均每次使用21.3次（范围为2至126次）。没有发生与注射相关的感染或局部反应。来自4名患者的6支注射器被非致病性皮肤微生物（白色葡萄球菌和芽孢杆菌属）污染，但没有任何不良影响。污染与注射器使用时间或皮肤准备技术无关。重复使用一次性塑料胰岛素注射器似乎是一种安全、节省成本的做法。
