Executive Summary
The US charitable care provider, the Visiting Nurses Association of America (VNAA), has entered a purchase agreement with the UK's New Medical Technology Group (Livingstone, Scotland) for the supply of its safety needle syringe incorporating automatic needle retraction technology. VNAA director Jean Ellis said the Boston, Massachusetts-based association sees provision of the safety syringes as helping to reduce needlestick incidents and as providing cost-effective care. Every year, some 600,000 needlestick incidents occur in the US alone.
