and 3) to emphasize OSHA's requirement and NIOSH's recommendation to use safer medical devices-in this case, blunt-tip suture needles-where clinically appropriate. (cdc.gov)
Evaluation of Blunt Suture Needles in Preventing Percutaneous Inj. (cdc.gov)
Most suturing is done using curved suture needles, although straight needles are used by some surgeons for suturing skin. (cdc.gov)
Blunt suture needles (curved suture needles that have a relatively blunt tip) may be less likely to cause PIs because they do not easily penetrate skin. (cdc.gov)
Based on small studies and anecdotal experience, blunt suture needles appear able to replace conventional curved suture needles for suturing many tissues, although they may require more pressure to penetrate the tissues (3-6). (cdc.gov)
Blunt suture needles (Ethiguard{trademark}, Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, New Jersey) ** were evaluated as a potential replacement for conventional curved needles in gynecologic surgery, a specialty in which high PI rates have been reported (2). (cdc.gov)
From March 1993 through June 1994, trained nurse observers at the three hospitals systematically recorded information about the nature and frequency of all PIs and the number and type of suture needles used during gynecologic surgical procedures (laparoscopy and dilation and curettage procedures were excluded from the study). (cdc.gov)
of these, 61 (70%) involved suture needles, and 26 (30%) involved other surgical devices. (cdc.gov)
Of the 61 injuries involving suture needles, 56 (92%) were associated with conventional curved needles, none with blunt needles, and five (8%) with straight needles. (cdc.gov)
The mean number of curved suture needles used per procedure (24 needles) was constant throughout the study period. (cdc.gov)
The increase in use of blunt suture needles was temporally associated with a decrease in PIs from curved suture needles, from 5.9 PIs per 100 procedures (49 PIs among 835 procedures) in 1993 to 1.1 PIs per 100 procedures (seven PIs among 629 procedures) in 1994 (p less than 0.01) ( Figure 1 ). (cdc.gov)
Rates of PIs with devices other than curved suture needles remained constant (2.1 PIs per 100 procedures). (cdc.gov)
For straight suture needles, the PI rate was 14.2 PIs per 1000 needles used (five PIs among 351 needles used). (cdc.gov)
