For those not familiar with a sharp injury, it is a penetrating wound from a needle, scalpel, or another similarly sharp object that results in the exposure of bodily fluids. According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, these particular injuries can put healthcare professionals at risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C, and several other blood-borne viruses. In another study, published by the American Nurse, the official peer-reviewed journal of the American Nurses Association, researchers revealed that about 30 percent of all sharps-related injuries occur in surgical settings or operating rooms.
