Safety needles primarily benefit healthcare professionals by reducing the risk of needlestick injuries.
Here's a breakdown of the benefits:
- Protection Against Needlestick Injuries (NSIs): The primary benefit of safety needles is to protect healthcare professionals (HCPs) from NSIs, which can expose them to bloodborne pathogens.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: By preventing NSIs, safety needles reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C to healthcare workers.
In short, safety needles are a vital tool in protecting healthcare workers from potentially life-threatening infections.
