Hypodermic needles are staple medical devices used by healthcare professionals. Every day billions of hypodermic needles are used to deliver medications. This extensive use puts healthcare professionals in direct line of fire with infections. How? Through needle stick injuries(NSIs).
According to 2019 research, the prevalence of NSIs among healthcare workers in India is between 57% and 73% and that’s just the official number. In fact, approximately 54% of NSIs are reported because of using hypodermic needle. Many instances of NSIs go unreported, making it a way more serious problem than it appears. To shield frontline healthcare workers from the dangers of NSIs, we at HMD have pioneered a new brand of safety needle for injections – Dispojekt Needles.
About Dispojekt SIP
Our Dispojekt safety needles come with a dedicated Sharps Injury Prevention shield, which significantly reduces the chances of accidental needle sticks. All you have to do is pull the hinge-based shield back, use it, and push the cover back, using a single hand. The transparent shield ensures that your fingertips don’t come in contact with the needle. The best thing about our safety needles is that they don’t require you to change your injection technique to use them. Moreover, we make sure to use the highest quality raw materials by manufacturing cannulas in house through virtual integration to ensure superior quality of needle.Features of Dispojekt Sharps Injury Prevention Needles
