Challenge
Needlestick injuries, where one accidentally jabs oneself or others with a used, contaminated needle, is the second most common accident in the UK and US Health Services, and typically occurs when resheathing used needles.
Solution
StickSafe prevents 40% of needle stick injuries by promoting safe and easy handling of syringes, needles and cannulas. StickSafe allows one handed and thus safer re-sheathing of needles. A valve feature removes the needle from the sheath, once the syringe is retracted.
