Hello Annie,
If the needle has been used on one individual
and they move away then surely the only issue is the needle may be blunt. Why
would the needle need to be changed before using the contents of the syringe?
If un-useable then discard and start again.
Regards
Pauline

Annie
removing a needle (other than via a
sharps box when disposing) is surely going to increase the risk of injury to
the user.
If the same needle cannot be used again
on the patient (as dentists do when giving locals), then should a whole new
product (drug and needle) not be used?
regards
Glenn

Hello List
Could anyone recommend a needle removing
device for the safe removing of a contaminated needle when, for example,1 an
individual pulls away at point of vaccination and the needle is contaminated
but the contents of the syringe remains intact and useable?
The contaminated needle needs to be safely removed so that a new
needle can be put on the syringe and contents used.
Any help would be gratefully received
Best wishes
Annie
