Experts from around the globe describe the intersection between patient and healthcare worker safety, focusing on techniques to improve both occupational and public health.
Webinar Objectives:
- Describe the current global impact of bloodborne disease
- Describe occupational exposure incidents for needlesticks and sharps injuries
- Define safety as a function of focus for both patient and health worker, to reduce overall bloodborne disease
- Provide guidance on the importance of prevention programs including use of safer medical devices, immunization/vaccination programs, and safe clinical practices
- Illustrate an effective pathway for reporting exposure incidents and injuries
- Define processes for post-exposure medical treatment and prophylaxis
- Share global experiences from key stakeholders responsible for sharps safety and public health programs around the world

In a study of patients with diabetes who inject insulin, patients educated on proper injection technique (including using a new needle for every injection, rotating injection sites, and shifting to a 4mm or 5mm needle) experienced a 1% reduction in A1C at 6 months.6‡
With the ongoing shortage in pen needle supply chain across the region and the challenges faced by manufacturers, we are currently increasing our BD NanoTM PRO 4mm pen needle supply within the Canadian market to ensure that patients continue to have access to a suitable alternative.
BD Nano PRO 4mm pen needles are compatible with leading insulin and GLP-1 pens including those supplied by Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi and other manufacturers.#

New BD Nano™ Pro 4mm Pen Needles
Redesigned to make injections easier from start to finish1*
Compatible with leading insulin and GLP-1 pens in Canada1
More confidence throughout the injection experience*
Injection technique education benefits

More reliable injection depth†
The only pen needle in Canada with a contoured-base design‡
Some 4mm pen needles have been shown to frequently inject deeper than 4 mm - even beyond 6 mm - depending on the amount of pressure used to inject.2* Injection insulin into muscle is associated with unpredictable absorption and variable blood sugars.3
The BD NanoTM PRO contoured-base design helps reduce the effects of accidentally applying too much pressure onto the skin while injecting - which may reduce the risk of injecting into muscle by up to 2-8x.1,5¶
