Frequently Asked Questions

What is a safety needle?

▼

A safety needle is a medical needle designed with a built-in protective mechanism - such as a shield or retractable design - that covers the needle after use. This helps prevent accidental needlestick injuries during or after procedures.

What is the difference between safety needles and regular needles?

▼

The key difference is that safety needles include a protective feature to reduce the risk of exposure after use. Regular medical needles do not have this mechanism and require manual handling, which increases the risk of injury if not properly disposed of. Safety needles are especially important in settings where multiple patients or healthcare workers are involved.

What is a safety needle used for?

▼

Safety needles are used in injections, blood draws, and fluid administration, just like standard needles - but with the added benefit of enhanced safety for both patients and healthcare providers. They are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and care homes where sharps safety is a priority.
