“...there are a lot of injuries among laundry and housekeeping personnel, due to needles and other contaminated sharp objects left in soiled goods.” Dionne Williams
Scalpel Blade Safety
The very nature of scalpels makes them dangerous to healthcare workers.  They are intended for the quick incision of tissues.  Scalpel blades can accidentally cut workers during the removal from holders. Removal of scalpel blades by hand is a practice that increases exposure to bloodborne and contact pathogens and oftentimes leads to percutaneous injury.  New methods of removing a scalpel blade from its holder will prevent these sharps injuries from occurring.
