Needles with built-in safety devices

You will be using needles and/or needle holders with built-in safety devices.
Various such needles are on the market.
Remember that you must still activate the safety device to get the protection offered.
So careful attention to what you are doing is still one of the best ways to protect yourself against needlestick injury.
