Description
Scalpel injuries are up to 6 times more likely to occur than needlestick injuries. They are particularly common
in surgical settings. Regrettably, healthcare organisations and personnel have underestimated the likelihood
of these injuries.
Scalpel cuts can result in infections, blood-borne diseases and psychological distress. Serious injuries could
require microsurgery to repair a digital artery, nerve and/or tendon.
Many such scalpel injuries can easily be prevented using Qlicksmart’s BladeCASSETTE, the world’s
pioneering single-handed blade remover.
