Needlestick injuries (NSI) occur very frequently in the health-care field and represent a very serious risk for health-care workers. It is estimated that 500,000 NSI occur per year in Germany. They are the most frequent cause of infections with blood-borne pathogens. Thus prevention is of decisive importance. A simple reporting procedure and low-threshold care system after NSI would certainly help to reduce the risks and the number of undetected cases.
