Needlestick injuries in nursing homes: the prominent role of insulin pens.

Philippe Kiss1, Marc De Meester, Lutgart Braeckman.   

Abstract

Causes and circumstances related to 162 needlestick injuries in nursing homes were analyzed. In addition to nurses, geriatrics helpers were found to be an important occupational group at risk. Insulin pens were the most frequent cause of needlestick injuries among nursing personnel. Insulin pens are a major instrument involved with unsafe needle-handling practices.
