The Sentinal Max is a world first for Blood Collection Sampling. It's a safety engineered device (SED) and prevents 100% of needle-stick injuries. Healthcare professionals don't need to "think" about how to use it, safety is inherent in the device.
Needle-stick and sharps injuries (NSI's) are one of the most common causes of physical, pathological and psychological hazards for many Healthcare workers.
In 2012, ECRI Institute reported NSI's as one of the top hazards for doctors, nurses and all healthcare workers who need to take blood samples.
Currently, the market has no devices like this.
