Using Needles and
Syringes
|
1. Using
needles and syringes properly is important to avoid getting accidentally
stuck by the needle or exposed to chemicals. 2. Be
careful taking the cap off the needle. Most people are stuck by needles at
this point. Try to gently bend the needle at the base to break the seal. If
you accidentally poke yourself with a needle, inform your TA immediately. 3. If the
plunger sticks at all, discard the syringe and needle immediately (See Waste
Disposal). |
