10/25/2018 - "Comparisons pre- and post-intervention showed that the average number of steps in accordance with the SMBG technique increased from 5.30 to 6.58, whereas the steps "Changing the lancet of the lancing device", "Pressing the puncture site" and "Disposing of materials used in a needlestick container" showed statistically significant differences. "
01/01/1996 - "New puncture resistant materials are being developed for health professional use as protection against disease and needle stick injuries. "
02/14/1994 - "Inexpensive methods to reduce needlestick injuries included: educational seminars to teach HCWs improved techniques for handling and disposal of needles and scalpels, preparation of patients before procedures to reduce unexpected movements, puncture-resistant sharps disposal containers, single-handed "scoop" technique to recap needles, instrument passage in a bowl, avoidance of blind suturing, scalpel blade disassembly using a mechanical device, and safety design for laboratory specimen transport boxes to reduce glass breakage."
09/01/2019 - "This study emphasizes that the use of modified arch bar is quick and easy method than conventional arch bar with least chances of glove puncture and needle stick injury to the operator. "
01/01/2003 - "During the last decade, double-glove hole puncture indication systems have been developed that reduce the clinical risk of accidental needlestick injuries as well as detect the presence of glove hole puncture in the presence of fluids. "
