Needlestick injuries are a major concern of healthcare workers:

  • According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, needlestick injuries account for more than 18,000 new cases of hepatitis annually
  • The preliminary treatment cost for a single needlestick incident is estimated to be between $500 to $3,000
  • Needlefree intravenous (I.V.) systems decrease needlestick injuries related to I.V. administrations by 62 to 88 percent

The CLAVE® NeedleFree System comprises a broad range of products designed to address caregiver safety issues. Hospira's dedication to improving safety in healthcare extends beyond product development and distribution with continuing clinician education.
