Needle-handling risk
Recapping techniques can place hands near the needle
Holding a loose needle cap by hand during recapping can bring fingers close to the needle and make the process less controlled.
Potential concern
Fingers may be positioned near the needle
The cap can move during recapping
Techniques may vary between personnel
The process may require additional handling
A more controlled approach
Keeps the cap stable during recapping
Supports a one-handed recapping technique
Creates a defined cap location
Supports a more repeatable workflow
A stable holder can reduce unnecessary handling and support a more controlled recapping process.
