"How can I work in my institution to prevent needlestick injuries?”
Medication Vial Adapters
The standard method of withdrawing fluid from a medicine vial unnecessarily exposes healthcare workers to needlestick injuries. This is typically done by pushing a needle into the rubber stopper of the vial and turning the vial upside.  Air is injected into the vial. The syringe plunger is withdrawn pulling medicine into the syringe.  After removing any unwanted air the syringe is used to make an injection.  Newer devices eliminate the needle and allow withdrawal of medicine directly into the syringe without exposing healthcare workers to needlestick injuries.

 

Using a needle to withdraw medication from vials unnecessarily exposes healthcare workers to  needlestick injuries!
