How do you put a safety on a needle?

Published in Medical Procedures 1 min read

The provided reference describes how to attach a safety needle to a syringe, which is a slightly different take on "putting a safety on a needle" than, say, recapping a used needle. Here's how to correctly attach a safety needle, based on the reference:

  1. Attach Safety Needle to Syringe: Connect the Safety Needle to either a luer lock or regular luer syringe.

  2. Secure Connection: While holding the rigid sheath that covers the Safety Needle, twist the syringe clockwise to properly seat the Safety Needle onto the syringe.

  3. Remove Sheath Carefully: Remove the sheath from the Safety Needle, making sure to point the needle away from yourself and others.
