    Needleless intravenous devices can help healthcare professionals avoid dangerous needle-stick injuries from blood exposure. This study evaluated and compared various needleless systems to assess their effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Safety
    • Medical Device Technology
    • Infection Control

    Background:

    • Needle-stick injuries pose significant risks to healthcare professionals due to exposure to blood and body fluids.
    • Traditional intravenous (IV) devices carry inherent risks of needlestick injuries.
    • Needleless intermittent intravenous devices have been developed to mitigate these risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a method for evaluating and comparing different needleless intravenous systems.
    • To assess the effectiveness of needleless devices in preventing needle-stick injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • A specific evaluation method was designed by the IV team at North Shore University Hospital.
    • The study involved comparing various commercially available needleless intravenous systems.
