About the List
The Safety Device List is a list of devices designed to prevent
percutaneous injuries and exposures to bloodborne pathogens in the
health care setting. The list is updated regularly with new products.
It is intended to help health care facilities in their efforts to
reduce sharps injuries and comply with OSHA's revised bloodborne
pathogens standard.
This list is not intended to be exhaustive and does not necessarily
represent all such devices currently on the market. The
International Healthcare Worker Safety Center does not conduct product
evaluations, and inclusion on this list is not, and should not be
interpreted as, an endorsement by the Center. We welcome
information about, and samples of, new products designed to prevent
bloodborne pathogen exposures. Send product information to: Safety
Device List, International Healthcare Worker Safety Center, University
of Virginia, P.O. Box 800764, Charlottesville, VA 22908-0764. For more
information, call (434) 924-5159.
New products enter the market regularly, and the manufacturers and
distributors of products change frequently. Many companies have several
products that may not all be listed. Companies should be contacted for
complete product information.
