Needle Reuse A Global Issue
  • Needle reuse is one of the most common causes of
    the spread of blood borne disease.
  • Blood borne pathogens are often contracted
    through the reuse of needles and syringes. These
    diseases can be contracted directly when a needle
    or a syringe is reused or indirectly when using a
    single-dose medication vial more than once.
  • Healthcare professionals are instructed to never
    reuse a needle or syringe and to dispose of both
    properly after one use.

The global Issue
  • The re-use of needles and syringes is too common
    around the world.
  • Each year, 16 billion injections are given in the
    developing world and it is estimated that 6.7
    billion are done with re-used equipment.
  • Since 2001, there have been more than 150,000
    people in the U.S. affected by unsafe injections,
    but experts say that many instances go unreported.
