Collection: Safety Products

They are single-use devices with a built-in protection mechanism — typically a shield or automatic retraction that covers the sharp immediately after use — designed to prevent accidental needlestick injuries. Adopting them is a core element of sharps-injury prevention programs in laboratories and clinics.

Reusing one would mean handling a contaminated sharp, which is exactly the step these devices exist to eliminate. Single-use design also removes cross-contamination risk between patients and samples, which is why the protection mechanisms are deliberately irreversible once activated.

Match the device to the actual procedure, and prefer mechanisms that activate with one hand without exposing the user, ideally with clear audible or visual confirmation of locking. Compatibility with the tubes and holders already in use matters, and staff training on correct activation counts as much as the device itself.

In Israel, Greiner Bio-One's safety range is available through Danyel Biotech, its official local distributor — including help choosing the right format for each procedure, local stock, and quotations for clinical and research sites.
