Needle-Protected Suturing
More than 120,000 sharps injuries each year involve suture needle sticks - the most common OR sharps injury, occurring 2.5 times more frequently than injuries from scalpels.   New technologies virtually eliminate the risk of dangerous suture needle sticks in millions of surgical cases where stapling is not applicable, enabling surgeons to close wounds more quickly and safely than suturing by hand.
