New EU guidelines to protect health workers from sharps injuries have been announced. It is expected that before the end of the year, hospitals across the EU will be legally obliged to take action to prevent needlestick injuries to their staff.
EU legislation will mean safer needles
G&N MEDICAL can help you meet this new legislation with its Vanishpoint Retractable Safety Needle System. These devices offer the highest protection available in preventing needlstick and re-sticking injuries. The current product range available from G&N Medical comprises 1, 3, 5 and 10 ml syringes all available with various needle gauges, plus a retractable blood collection tube holder for blood sampling. Both the syringe and tube holder’s patented spring mechanism automatically retracts the needle directly from the patient into the device. These devices have gone through extensive trials and are designed for the avoidance and the reduction of sharps injuries. G&N Medical offers full training and support to ensure a successful transition to the Vanishpoint system.
