Protecting Those Who Serve & Protect Us
Needlestick Hand Safety
The opioid crisis is not breaking news. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, drug-related overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. Death rates now rival those of AIDS during the 1990s. Overdoses from heroin, heroin laced with fentanyl and other opioids are now killing more and more people every year and this crisis is affecting more than drug addicts.
The percentage of abusers choosing to inject their opioid of choice hovers around 25% and growing. First responders, police officers, border patrol, correctional officers, firefighters and EMTs and on the front lines of the growing opioid overdose epidemic constantly face the danger of needlesticks.
The hazards of hypodermic needlesticks are clear – just one puncture of the skin can transmit Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or 
HIV (AIDS). Because intravenous drug abusers are more likely to carry these bloodborne diseases, law enforcement personnel face the threat of contracting one of these diseases every time they perform a body or property search.
Needlestick awareness, education and prevention are becoming paramount for those in law enforcement and public service. The push for needlestick protection is rising, as are proper needlestick safety protocols. This is where HexArmor® leads the industry.
