SAFET in blood collection

Helping to protect you from needlestick injuries (NSIs), so you can focus on what matters most.

3 million healthcare workers (HCW) globally experience blood borne pathogen exposure due to needle stick and sharp object injuries every year.¹

All it takes to transmit serious infections is a minute quantity of blood, not visible to the naked eye²

50% of the all sharps injuries go unreported per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assessment³

Phlebotomy procedures have been measured to account for as much as 62% of all injuries reported to occupational health services in hospitals⁴

1 Patient, 1 HCW, 1 Second... One second. It’s the blink of an eye. A fleeting moment. But that’s all it takes for an accident to change the life of a HCW.

Psychological impact

Depression severity in needlestick injury patients were similar to other psychiatric trauma, but while they last for
9 months on average⁵

Health impact

30 infections and diseases in human blood can be transmitted by needle stick injuries⁸

Financial Impact

Managing a single needlestick injury (NSI) can cost between
$500 to $3,000⁶

Major part of NSIs are preventable

74% lower risk of NSIs associated with the use of safety engineered devices (SED) during phlebotomy⁷

93% reduction in needlestick injuries when safety devices were used. Education and training were key factors⁸
