Clean Needles

Clean needles refer to sterile, unused needles used for medical or therapeutic purposes, such as injections or blood draws. Using clean needles is essential to prevent the transmission of infections like HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Properly sterilized or disposable needles ensure that no harmful bacteria or viruses are transferred between patients. Healthcare providers are trained to use and dispose of needles safely, adhering to strict hygiene standards. This practice not only protects individual patients but also helps maintain overall public health by reducing the risk of disease spread through needle reuse or contamination.
