Product Profile: NopoGuard 

A reusable on-syringe needle safety device


The CDC estimates that 600,000–800,000 needlestick injuries occur annually. Needlestick injuries expose workers to bloodborne pathogens that can cause serious or fatal infections. Because sharps injuries in dentistry continue to be a serious problem, OSHA requires employers to identify, evaluate and implement safer engineered sharps protections.

To help prevent needlestick injuries, Dental Products Lab recently launched NopoGuard, a reusable on-syringe solution for needle recapping and disposal that is compatible with existing syringes and needles.

NopoGuard’s clear thermoplastic resin ensures uncompromising strength and exceptional visibility. Precision detents provide audible and tactile feedback that give practitioners confidence. NopoGuard’s flexible side tabs securely engage the needle hub to provide protection during needle disposal. Each NopoGuard can be sterilized and reused up to 250 times to save money and minimize practice waste.

The patent-pending product keeps dental health care personnel safe while performing injections from start to finish.
