A retractable winged steel (butterfly) needle performance improvement project
Abstract
A performance improvement project used an interdisciplinary, systematic approach, including frontline staff input, in identifying, selecting, and evaluating a safer needle device. Following adoption of a retractable needle, needlesticks of health care workers decreased from 3.19 to zero incidents per 100,000 needles.
