SOL-CARE™ Safety Needle and Needlestick Injury Prevention

Needlestick injury is a major risk for healthcare professionals using needles and sharps placing them at risk for blood-borne pathogens. Safety needles and other safety injection devices have been shown to create a 4-fold reduction in these types of needlestick injuries¹. Sol-Millennium’s® safety and blunt fill needles help to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.

SOL-CARE™ Safety Needles are designed to help prevent needlestick injuries
