Safety-engineered medical devices
Safety-engineered medical devices are specially designed tools that help protect healthcare workers and patients from injuries, such as needlestick injuries. These devices incorporate built-in safety features—like shields, retractable needles, or automatic coverage—to prevent accidental contact with sharps after use. By reducing risk during procedures like injections or blood draws, these devices improve safety standards in medical environments. They are a proactive approach to minimize exposure to bloodborne pathogens and other risks, ensuring safer healthcare practices without compromising the effectiveness of the medical procedure.
