American NEEDLE GUARD - Preventing Cross-Contamination in the Dental Office

Anyone involved in dental health, specifically those who directly treat patients, are exposed to a wide variety of microorganisms in blood and saliva. These microorganisms may cause infectious diseases, ranging from the common cold and pneumonia, to hepatitis B and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Effective infection control procedures and uniform procedures in the dental office are necessary to prevent cross contamination.

Designed to securely hold the needle sheath.

Paramount in the prevention of cross contamination is the careful handling of needles and other sharp instruments. Needles in particular must be recapped after each use to avoid the possibility of a needle stick injury. To avoid such an injury, the needles can be recapped by placing the needle sheath in a special holder.

NEEDLE GUARD™ is specifically designed to guide the needle into the sheath so it is completely sealed. NEEDLE GUARD™ is kept with the needle sheath attached to protect the operator's fingers, thus eliminating the possibility of needle sticks. Its unique shape prevents the NEEDLE GUARD™ from moving during recapping.
