Warning indicators are essential in mitigating risks to the exposure of bloodborne pathogens. Warning indicators are present throughout medical care, from biohazard labels on sharps containers, to drug warning labels. Both written and graphic presentations are widely used and have proven effective in mitigating risks, when these warnings are appropriately designed for the specified audience (Andrews, 2011). Products such as NeedleTape® (die-cut medical tape that provides enhanced visual awareness to the presence of needles), provide this type of warning indicator for healthcare workers in numerous healthcare settings.
Preventing sharps and needlesticks injuries is our number one priority. Simple solutions are requisite in fast paced environments. NeedleTape® combines the proven efficacy of high quality medical tape along with a highly visual safety identifier to alert healthcare workers to the presence of needles. NeedleTape® provides a heightened awareness to the risk of needlesticks that can help to promote discussion among surgical and other healthcare team members, and ultimately help influence behaviors.
“We have used your product on numerous occasions when things are moving quickly, and the focus turns from surgery to waking up the patient. The NeedleTape “pops” and makes it easier to remember to remove the needles. It aids in the safety of both the patient and the health care workers involved in the case. Great idea!”
“Great product, holds down needles during long procedures. The colors help to remind me to remove every needle placed on the patient, this helps all of us in the surgical suite. Thank you!”
