| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - More than 600,000 medical sharps injuries occur each year in healthcare facilities in the U.S. Any healthcare worker who handles sharp devices or equipment such as lancets, suture needles, scalpels, or hypodermic needles risks injury and life-threatening infections such as HIV or Hepatitis B or C. Primary prevention devices and practices can eliminate risk in many situations.
