Needlestick injuries are dangerous. They can also be costly for hospitals, clinics, care facilities, and home health workers and caregivers.
SureReCap™ is a simple safe solution to help reduce the risk of needle stick injuries. Our SureReCap™ patented design securely holds the outer cap of injection devices so that the needle can be recapped, removed, and disposed of, without ever touching the needle. SureReCap™ comes in two sizes, one for pen needles, and one for syringe needles.
Overview
Needlestick injuries make up more than 80% of all percutaneous exposure incidents in the United States.[1][3] It is estimated that there are 3.5 million needlestick injuries each year. These estimates are considered low, as it is estimated that half of all occupational needlestick injuries are not reported.[14][15]
The CSCND estimates there are over 7.5 billion syringes used for home medical care in the United States.[1] This large amount of home medical syringe usage has added to the problem of non-healthcare related needlestick injuries.
These injuries can occur at any time when people use, disassemble, or dispose of needles. Many needle stick injuries occur when trying to replace the safety cap on the needle following the injection.
SureReCap™ is a simple safe solution to help reduce the risk of needle stick injuries. Our SureReCap™ patented design securely holds the large outer cap of pen needles so that the needle can be recapped, removed, and disposed of, without ever touching the needle. SureReCap™ capitalizes on the ”no-touch” protocols that eliminates direct contact with needles after use and disposal which greatly reduces the risk of needlestick injuries.
The American Hospital Association found that one case of infection by blood-borne pathogens could cost $1 million for testing, follow-up, and disability payments. It is estimated hospitals could save $1 billion annually by preventing needlestick injuries among healthcare workers in the US, including fees associated with testing, laboratory work, counseling, and follow-up costs.[17]
