The author explains the two broad categories of primary and secondary
prevention sharps injury protection devices and techniques. NAPPSI
has created a comprehensive Safety Device List, at (www.nappsi.org)..
The author provides tips for using the Safety Device List, including:
how to find information on sutureless catheter securement devices;
how to use the list to identify alternatives clinicians can and should
use; how to locate products that maximize peripheral catheter dwell
times and reduce clinicians' sharps exposure; how to find information
on needleless injectors and diabetic management tools; and how to
get updates on the latest safety technologies on the market.
