Needlestick Injury Statistics

Safety-engineered sharps can cut needlestick and percutaneous injuries by about 70% in the most recent pooled estimates, yet a CDC survey still found 5.3% of US healthcare personnel had a percutaneous exposure in the past 12 months. This page connects real-world injury patterns and transmission risks to the prevention and compliance steps that shape outcomes and costs.
