The Armamentarium
4 PARTS:
1) The Syringe
2) The Needle
3) The Cartridge
4) Preparation
The Syringe
Standard of Care  aspirating dental
syringes are the standard of care due to
their ability to aspirate blood if the tip
of the needle is located intravascularly
ADA Standards for Injection Syringes
.1They must be durable and able to withstand repeated
sterilization without damage
2. They should be capable of accepting a wide variety of
cartridges and needles from different manufacturers and
permit repeated use
3. They should be inexpensive, self-contained, lightweight
and simple to use with one hand
4. Provide aspiration so blood can be seen through the glass
cartridge
Breech-Loading, Metallic, Cartridge-Type,
Aspirating #1 Used Syringe In Dentistry
-breech loading implies that the dental cartridge is
loaded from the side
-a needle is attached to the barrel of the syringe at the
needle adaptor
-the needle passes into the barrel and pierces the
diaphragm of the local anesthetic cartridge
Aspirating Syringe
-the needle adaptor is sometimes inadvertently
discarded along with the disposable needle
-the harpoon is a sharp tip attached to the piston
and is responsible for penetrating the thick
silicone rubber stopper (bung) at the other end
of the cartridge
- negative pressure is applied to the thumb ring by
the
administrator, if blood enters the glass local anesthetic
cartridge (carpule) then the tip of the needle is
inserted into the lumen of a blood vessel
•chrome-plated brass and stainless steel
-incidence of positive aspiration is between 10-15%
for some injections
-aspiration before injection of local anesthetic is
accepted in the practice of dentistry and is
overlooked to a great extent
-these syringes use the elasticity of the rubber
diaphragm in the anesthetic cartridge to obtain the
necessary negative pressure for aspiration
-multiple aspirations are possible with very little
effort due to a small metal projection that applies
pressure to the rubber diaphragm when the thumb
ring is depressed  negative pressure  aspiration
-this type of aspiration is as reliable as using the
harpoon to check for blood aspiration
Self-Aspirating Syringes
-Major factor for aspiration is the gauge of the
needle being used
-Most doctors using the harpoon-type syringe, retract
the thumb ring back too far and with excessive force
which frequently disengages the harpoon from the
silicone rubber stopper of the cartridge
-1st generation self-aspirating syringes required a thumb disk
which forced the operator to remove their index and middle
fingers from the thumb ring to the thumb disk to aspirate
-2nd generation self-aspirating syringes have removed this
thumb disk
-Dentists only need to stop applying pressure to the thumb
ring for aspiration; aspiration becomes very easy to do
Pressure Syringes
-PDL (intraligamentary) injections make it
possible to achieve single tooth pulpal
anesthesia in the mandible when, in the past,
complete IANB was necessary
-pressure syringes can allow too easy of an administration of
local anesthetic producing pain and post-operative discomfort
-pressure syringes are expensive > $200.00
-can shatter glass cartridge if too much pressure is applied too
quickly
2000 psi Jet Syringes ($1,600)
-needle-less injection
-liquids forced through very small openings, called
jets, at very high pressure can penetrate skin or intact
mucous membrane
-Syrijet is the most popular used today
-Syrijet holds any 1.8 ml cartridge of local anesthetic
-Syrijet is calibrated to deliver .05 to .2 ml of solution at
2000 psi; traditional syringes deliver 600 psi maximum
-primary use is to obtain topical anesthesia before using a
needle
-regional nerve blocks/supraperiosteal injections are still
necessary
-topical anesthetics provide the same effect at a fraction of
the cost
-patients complain of soreness where the 2000 psi hit their
tissue
Safety Syringe
-Aspiration is possible
-some brands come with an autoclavable
plunger and disposable self-contained
injection unit
-all dental safety syringes are made to be single use items
-sliding the index and middle finger forward against
the front collar of the guard makes the needle “safe”
by sliding a protective plastic sheath over the
needle tip that locks into place
-more expensive than reusable syringe units
-large disadvantage arises when it comes to re-
injecting; complication ensues due to the needle
tips newly acquired safety coping
CCLAD (Computer Controlled Local
Anesthetic Delivery
-designed to improve ergonomics and precision of injection
technique
-foot activated delivery of solution using finger tip precision
-pen-like grasp offers increased tactile sensation
-flow rates of solution delivery are computer
controlled and remain consistent
operator is able to focus attention on the position of
the needle tip while the motor of the machine delivers
local anesthetic at a preprogrammed rate of flow
50 Dentists were injected with traditional syringes and
The Wand; 48 of 50 Dentists preferred to be injected
again themselves with The Wand due to a reported
threefold decrease in the interpretation of pain
The Wand
-The Wand is less threatening to the patients visually
-allows two rates of delivery:
1) Slow: .5 ml/minute
2) Fast: 1.8 ml/minute
-releasing the foot rheo-stat will tell the machine to
aspirate automatically; the aspiration cycle is
approximately 4.5 seconds
-extremely high pressure in non-resilient
tissues cause (traditional syringe)
moderate/severe pain in most patients
The Wand eliminates a lot of this
discomfort by maintaining constant
pressure delivery of the solution
-less painful PDL, palatal, attached gingiva
injections
The Cartridge
Components of the Cartridge
The 1.8 ml dental cartridge consists of four parts:
1) Cylindrical glass tube
2) Stopper (Plunger, Bung)
3) Aluminum Cap
4) Diaphragm
Carpule = registered trade name for the dental cartridge
introduced by Cooke-Waite laboratories
in 1920
-Rubber stopper should be lightly indented
-Flush or extruded stoppers: don’t use
-Aluminum cap holds the diaphragm in position
-Diaphragm is latex rubber through which the needle
penetrates the cartridge (no allergies ever reported)
Parts of the Cartridge
-Liquid can diffuse through the diaphragm
and contaminate the local anesthetic solution
(alcohol common culprit)
-Mylar plastic label surrounds glass with
content information and color coded band to
identify the anesthetic
Composition of Local Anesthetic Cartridge
What is in the Cartridge?
-Local Anesthetic: provides anesthesia; resists heat
-Sodium Chloride: produces isotonicity with body tissue
-Sterile Water: provides volume only
-Vasopressor: increases safety, duration and depth of anesthetic
-Sodium (meta) Bisulfite: antioxidant (preservative)
-Methylparaben: bacteriostatic agent and antioxidant
-only found in multi-dose drugs, ointments, creams
-bacteriostatic, fungistatic and antioxidant
-removed due to single use and paraben allergies
Care and Handling
-local anesthetic drug is stable and can be sterilized, heated, autoclaved, or boiled
without being broken down
-problem is that the diaphragm and vasopressor is heat labile and can easily be broken
down, so cartridges should not be autoclaved
-“blister packs” should be stored at room temperature and in the dark
-bacterial cultures taken off newly opened “blister packs” produce no bacterial growth
when cultured
-cartridges are ready to be used when removed from the package there is no need to
rub the diaphragm with alcohol
-cartridges should not be permitted to soak in alcohol or other sterilizing solutions
because the diaphragm will allow diffusion
Cartridge Warmers
-cartridge warmers are not necessary; the patient cannot
discern between warmed and room temperature local
anesthetic
-patients do not complain of the local anesthetic solution
feeling cold upon injection
-local anesthetics that are warmed too much, i.e., > 80 F will
be described as too hot or burning upon injection
-local anesthetic warmers are deceptive if they claim that the
injection will be less painful if the anesthetic is warmed
Problems
Bubble In The Cartridge: 1-2 mm bubble can be found in the
cartridge which is nitrogen gas that is inserted into the
cartridge when it is sealed to keep oxygen out; avoids
oxygen oxidizing the vasopressor
Extruded Stopper: liquid was frozen at some point leading to
extrusion sterile environment of the solution can no longer
be guaranteed; it only takes one day for alcohol to diffuse
through the diaphragm; alcohol is neurolytic and can cause
extended lengths of parasthesia; do not soak cartridges in
alcohol
Burning On Injection
1) Normal response to the pH of the drug
2) Cartridge contains sterilizing solution
3) Overheated cartridge (local anesthetic warmer)
4) Cartridge containing a vasopressor (decreased pH)
5) Vasopressor decreases the pH from 5.5 (plain) to 3.3 – 4.0
6) Sodium Bisulfite  Sodium Bisulfate (much more acidic)
7) -ite  -ate occurs by oxidation after local anesthetic expiration
-with the addition of silicone as a lubricant around the stopper instead of
paraffin this is not a problem anymore
Cracked Cartridge Glass
-there is no need to hit the thumb ring with excessive
force when engaging the stopper with the harpoon
-controlled pressure with the palm of the hand will
provide adequate engagement
-some have a tendency to engage the harpoon too
aggressively which is a bad habit that leads to
cracked glass cartridges
Additional Armamentarium
1) Topical Antiseptic: betadine or thimerosal; 8% of
Dentists use it and is considered optional; eliminates
post-injection infections
2) Topical Anesthetic: disguises the initial introduction of
the needle into the tissues when applied for a minimum
of 1 minute; if left for 2 to 3 minutes, profound topical
anesthesia is achieved; studies have shown that less than
10 seconds does not provide any more anesthesia than
placebo
The Needle
-most needles are stainless steel and disposable
-reusable needles have no place in the practice of
Dentistry
-plastic hubs are not pre-threaded; metal hubs are
pre-threaded
-a needle whose point is more centered on the long
axis will have less deflection upon entry into soft
tissues than a beveled needle
All needles have these components in common:
1) Bevel: point or tip of needle; long, medium and
short
2) Shaft: long portion of the needle
(diameter of lumen)
3) Hub: plastic/metal piece that attaches the needle
to the syringe
4) Cartridge Penetrating End: perforates the
diaphragm of the cartridge
The Gauge
-the diameter of the lumen of the needle; the smaller the
number the greater the diameter of the lumen; 30-gauge
needle has a smaller internal diameter than a 25-gauge
needle; needles in the U.S. are color coded by diameter
30 Gauge (Blue)
27 Gauge (Yellow)
25 Gauge (Red)
-Dentists think that using smaller gauge needles
will result in a less traumatic injection
experience by the patient which is false
-In 1972, Hamburg proved that patients could
not differentiate between 23, 25, 27 and
30-gauge needles
Larger gauge needles have advantages over
smaller gauge needles:
(1less deflection of the needle tip results in
greater accuracy
2) less chance of needle breakage (separation)
3) easier aspiration of blood through the larger
lumens
4) undetectable pain differences between 25 and
30-gauge needles
-25 gauge is the needle of choice for injections that
have a high potential for a positive aspiration
(PSA, IANB and Mental Block)
-30-gauge needles are not recommended for any
specific injection
Rotational Insertion Technique
(minimizes deflection)
Bi-rotational insertion technique
the operator rotates the needle in a back-and-forth
rotational movement while advancing the needle
through the tissues; traditional hand-held syringes
cannot be rotated in this manner, however, The
Wand can be rotated in this fashion results in less
deflection, less force is needed for needle
penetration
Length
-there are three lengths to dental needles: long, short
and ultrashort
-average length of short needles: 20 mm (hub to tip)
-average length of long needles: 32 mm (hub to tip)
-needles should not be inserted to the hub unless
absolutely necessary for the success of the
injection
-hub is the most common area for breakage because
this area has the highest level of stress
-when a needle is separated the elastic properties of
the tissues permit a rebound effect that completely
covers the needle (buries it)
-25 gauge long needle is the only needle any Dentist
needs to perform any dental injections per Malamed
(25 or 27-gauge short possible too)
Problems
-Stainless steel needles dull after 3-4 penetrations into
soft tissue causing more pain/post-operative
discomfort; change your needle
-If needles are to be penetrated into soft tissue more
than 5 mm then the needle should not be bent;
bending needles weaken them
-No attempt should be made to change the direction of a
needle when it is embedded into tissue; you should
remove the needle and reinsert it completely
-Of 60 needles that separated and lead to litigation,
59 of them were 30-gauge short needles
(probably inserted too far and above rules broken)
Separated Needle
Problems
-Pain on withdrawal of needle could be due to “fishhook”
barbs due to errors in manufacturing or too hard contact
against bone
-Needle should be recapped immediately after it is withdrawn
from a patients mouth; avoids unintentional sticks
-Never put an uncapped needle on the tray for yourself or
someone else to inadvertently be stuck; always recap the
needle after you have given any injection

local anesthesia in dentistry 5 armamentarium

  • 1. IN THE NAME OF GOD
  • 2. ‫دندانپزشکی‬ ‫در‬ ‫موضعی‬ ‫حسی‬ ‫بی‬ ‫اصول‬ ‫نظری‬ ‫جراحی‬ ‫درس‬ ‫حسینی‬ ‫هادی‬ ‫سید‬ ‫دکتر‬ ‫صورت‬ ‫و‬ ‫فک‬ ‫جراحی‬ ‫متخصص‬ www.drhadihoseini.com ‫در‬ ‫اسالید‬ ‫دانلود‬: http://www.slideshare.net/hadidezyan
  • 3. The Armamentarium 4 PARTS: 1) The Syringe 2) The Needle 3) The Cartridge 4) Preparation
  • 4. The Syringe Standard of Care  aspirating dental syringes are the standard of care due to their ability to aspirate blood if the tip of the needle is located intravascularly
  • 5. ADA Standards for Injection Syringes .1They must be durable and able to withstand repeated sterilization without damage 2. They should be capable of accepting a wide variety of cartridges and needles from different manufacturers and permit repeated use 3. They should be inexpensive, self-contained, lightweight and simple to use with one hand 4. Provide aspiration so blood can be seen through the glass cartridge
  • 6.
  • 7. Breech-Loading, Metallic, Cartridge-Type, Aspirating #1 Used Syringe In Dentistry -breech loading implies that the dental cartridge is loaded from the side -a needle is attached to the barrel of the syringe at the needle adaptor -the needle passes into the barrel and pierces the diaphragm of the local anesthetic cartridge
  • 8. Aspirating Syringe -the needle adaptor is sometimes inadvertently discarded along with the disposable needle -the harpoon is a sharp tip attached to the piston and is responsible for penetrating the thick silicone rubber stopper (bung) at the other end of the cartridge
  • 9. - negative pressure is applied to the thumb ring by the administrator, if blood enters the glass local anesthetic cartridge (carpule) then the tip of the needle is inserted into the lumen of a blood vessel •chrome-plated brass and stainless steel
  • 10. -incidence of positive aspiration is between 10-15% for some injections -aspiration before injection of local anesthetic is accepted in the practice of dentistry and is overlooked to a great extent -these syringes use the elasticity of the rubber diaphragm in the anesthetic cartridge to obtain the necessary negative pressure for aspiration
  • 11. -multiple aspirations are possible with very little effort due to a small metal projection that applies pressure to the rubber diaphragm when the thumb ring is depressed  negative pressure  aspiration -this type of aspiration is as reliable as using the harpoon to check for blood aspiration
  • 12. Self-Aspirating Syringes -Major factor for aspiration is the gauge of the needle being used -Most doctors using the harpoon-type syringe, retract the thumb ring back too far and with excessive force which frequently disengages the harpoon from the silicone rubber stopper of the cartridge
  • 13. -1st generation self-aspirating syringes required a thumb disk which forced the operator to remove their index and middle fingers from the thumb ring to the thumb disk to aspirate -2nd generation self-aspirating syringes have removed this thumb disk -Dentists only need to stop applying pressure to the thumb ring for aspiration; aspiration becomes very easy to do
  • 14.
  • 15.
  • 16. Pressure Syringes -PDL (intraligamentary) injections make it possible to achieve single tooth pulpal anesthesia in the mandible when, in the past, complete IANB was necessary
  • 17. -pressure syringes can allow too easy of an administration of local anesthetic producing pain and post-operative discomfort -pressure syringes are expensive > $200.00 -can shatter glass cartridge if too much pressure is applied too quickly
  • 18. 2000 psi Jet Syringes ($1,600) -needle-less injection -liquids forced through very small openings, called jets, at very high pressure can penetrate skin or intact mucous membrane -Syrijet is the most popular used today -Syrijet holds any 1.8 ml cartridge of local anesthetic
  • 19. -Syrijet is calibrated to deliver .05 to .2 ml of solution at 2000 psi; traditional syringes deliver 600 psi maximum -primary use is to obtain topical anesthesia before using a needle -regional nerve blocks/supraperiosteal injections are still necessary -topical anesthetics provide the same effect at a fraction of the cost -patients complain of soreness where the 2000 psi hit their tissue
  • 20. Safety Syringe -Aspiration is possible -some brands come with an autoclavable plunger and disposable self-contained injection unit -all dental safety syringes are made to be single use items
  • 21. -sliding the index and middle finger forward against the front collar of the guard makes the needle “safe” by sliding a protective plastic sheath over the needle tip that locks into place -more expensive than reusable syringe units -large disadvantage arises when it comes to re- injecting; complication ensues due to the needle tips newly acquired safety coping
  • 22.
  • 23. CCLAD (Computer Controlled Local Anesthetic Delivery -designed to improve ergonomics and precision of injection technique -foot activated delivery of solution using finger tip precision -pen-like grasp offers increased tactile sensation
  • 24. -flow rates of solution delivery are computer controlled and remain consistent operator is able to focus attention on the position of the needle tip while the motor of the machine delivers local anesthetic at a preprogrammed rate of flow 50 Dentists were injected with traditional syringes and The Wand; 48 of 50 Dentists preferred to be injected again themselves with The Wand due to a reported threefold decrease in the interpretation of pain The Wand
  • 25. -The Wand is less threatening to the patients visually -allows two rates of delivery: 1) Slow: .5 ml/minute 2) Fast: 1.8 ml/minute -releasing the foot rheo-stat will tell the machine to aspirate automatically; the aspiration cycle is approximately 4.5 seconds
  • 26. -extremely high pressure in non-resilient tissues cause (traditional syringe) moderate/severe pain in most patients The Wand eliminates a lot of this discomfort by maintaining constant pressure delivery of the solution -less painful PDL, palatal, attached gingiva injections
  • 27.
  • 29. Components of the Cartridge The 1.8 ml dental cartridge consists of four parts: 1) Cylindrical glass tube 2) Stopper (Plunger, Bung) 3) Aluminum Cap 4) Diaphragm Carpule = registered trade name for the dental cartridge introduced by Cooke-Waite laboratories in 1920
  • 30.
  • 31. -Rubber stopper should be lightly indented -Flush or extruded stoppers: don’t use -Aluminum cap holds the diaphragm in position -Diaphragm is latex rubber through which the needle penetrates the cartridge (no allergies ever reported) Parts of the Cartridge
  • 32. -Liquid can diffuse through the diaphragm and contaminate the local anesthetic solution (alcohol common culprit) -Mylar plastic label surrounds glass with content information and color coded band to identify the anesthetic
  • 33.
  • 34. Composition of Local Anesthetic Cartridge
  • 35. What is in the Cartridge? -Local Anesthetic: provides anesthesia; resists heat -Sodium Chloride: produces isotonicity with body tissue -Sterile Water: provides volume only -Vasopressor: increases safety, duration and depth of anesthetic -Sodium (meta) Bisulfite: antioxidant (preservative) -Methylparaben: bacteriostatic agent and antioxidant -only found in multi-dose drugs, ointments, creams -bacteriostatic, fungistatic and antioxidant -removed due to single use and paraben allergies
  • 36. Care and Handling -local anesthetic drug is stable and can be sterilized, heated, autoclaved, or boiled without being broken down -problem is that the diaphragm and vasopressor is heat labile and can easily be broken down, so cartridges should not be autoclaved -“blister packs” should be stored at room temperature and in the dark -bacterial cultures taken off newly opened “blister packs” produce no bacterial growth when cultured -cartridges are ready to be used when removed from the package there is no need to rub the diaphragm with alcohol -cartridges should not be permitted to soak in alcohol or other sterilizing solutions because the diaphragm will allow diffusion
  • 37. Cartridge Warmers -cartridge warmers are not necessary; the patient cannot discern between warmed and room temperature local anesthetic -patients do not complain of the local anesthetic solution feeling cold upon injection -local anesthetics that are warmed too much, i.e., > 80 F will be described as too hot or burning upon injection -local anesthetic warmers are deceptive if they claim that the injection will be less painful if the anesthetic is warmed
  • 38. Problems Bubble In The Cartridge: 1-2 mm bubble can be found in the cartridge which is nitrogen gas that is inserted into the cartridge when it is sealed to keep oxygen out; avoids oxygen oxidizing the vasopressor Extruded Stopper: liquid was frozen at some point leading to extrusion sterile environment of the solution can no longer be guaranteed; it only takes one day for alcohol to diffuse through the diaphragm; alcohol is neurolytic and can cause extended lengths of parasthesia; do not soak cartridges in alcohol
  • 39. Burning On Injection 1) Normal response to the pH of the drug 2) Cartridge contains sterilizing solution 3) Overheated cartridge (local anesthetic warmer) 4) Cartridge containing a vasopressor (decreased pH) 5) Vasopressor decreases the pH from 5.5 (plain) to 3.3 – 4.0 6) Sodium Bisulfite  Sodium Bisulfate (much more acidic) 7) -ite  -ate occurs by oxidation after local anesthetic expiration -with the addition of silicone as a lubricant around the stopper instead of paraffin this is not a problem anymore
  • 40. Cracked Cartridge Glass -there is no need to hit the thumb ring with excessive force when engaging the stopper with the harpoon -controlled pressure with the palm of the hand will provide adequate engagement -some have a tendency to engage the harpoon too aggressively which is a bad habit that leads to cracked glass cartridges
  • 41.
  • 42. Additional Armamentarium 1) Topical Antiseptic: betadine or thimerosal; 8% of Dentists use it and is considered optional; eliminates post-injection infections 2) Topical Anesthetic: disguises the initial introduction of the needle into the tissues when applied for a minimum of 1 minute; if left for 2 to 3 minutes, profound topical anesthesia is achieved; studies have shown that less than 10 seconds does not provide any more anesthesia than placebo
  • 44. -most needles are stainless steel and disposable -reusable needles have no place in the practice of Dentistry -plastic hubs are not pre-threaded; metal hubs are pre-threaded -a needle whose point is more centered on the long axis will have less deflection upon entry into soft tissues than a beveled needle
  • 45. All needles have these components in common: 1) Bevel: point or tip of needle; long, medium and short 2) Shaft: long portion of the needle (diameter of lumen) 3) Hub: plastic/metal piece that attaches the needle to the syringe 4) Cartridge Penetrating End: perforates the diaphragm of the cartridge
  • 46.
  • 47. The Gauge -the diameter of the lumen of the needle; the smaller the number the greater the diameter of the lumen; 30-gauge needle has a smaller internal diameter than a 25-gauge needle; needles in the U.S. are color coded by diameter 30 Gauge (Blue) 27 Gauge (Yellow) 25 Gauge (Red)
  • 48. -Dentists think that using smaller gauge needles will result in a less traumatic injection experience by the patient which is false -In 1972, Hamburg proved that patients could not differentiate between 23, 25, 27 and 30-gauge needles
  • 49. Larger gauge needles have advantages over smaller gauge needles: (1less deflection of the needle tip results in greater accuracy 2) less chance of needle breakage (separation) 3) easier aspiration of blood through the larger lumens 4) undetectable pain differences between 25 and 30-gauge needles
  • 50. -25 gauge is the needle of choice for injections that have a high potential for a positive aspiration (PSA, IANB and Mental Block) -30-gauge needles are not recommended for any specific injection
  • 51.
  • 52. Rotational Insertion Technique (minimizes deflection) Bi-rotational insertion technique the operator rotates the needle in a back-and-forth rotational movement while advancing the needle through the tissues; traditional hand-held syringes cannot be rotated in this manner, however, The Wand can be rotated in this fashion results in less deflection, less force is needed for needle penetration
  • 53. Length -there are three lengths to dental needles: long, short and ultrashort -average length of short needles: 20 mm (hub to tip) -average length of long needles: 32 mm (hub to tip) -needles should not be inserted to the hub unless absolutely necessary for the success of the injection
  • 54. -hub is the most common area for breakage because this area has the highest level of stress -when a needle is separated the elastic properties of the tissues permit a rebound effect that completely covers the needle (buries it) -25 gauge long needle is the only needle any Dentist needs to perform any dental injections per Malamed (25 or 27-gauge short possible too)
  • 55.
  • 56. Problems -Stainless steel needles dull after 3-4 penetrations into soft tissue causing more pain/post-operative discomfort; change your needle -If needles are to be penetrated into soft tissue more than 5 mm then the needle should not be bent; bending needles weaken them -No attempt should be made to change the direction of a needle when it is embedded into tissue; you should remove the needle and reinsert it completely -Of 60 needles that separated and lead to litigation, 59 of them were 30-gauge short needles (probably inserted too far and above rules broken)
  • 58. Problems -Pain on withdrawal of needle could be due to “fishhook” barbs due to errors in manufacturing or too hard contact against bone -Needle should be recapped immediately after it is withdrawn from a patients mouth; avoids unintentional sticks -Never put an uncapped needle on the tray for yourself or someone else to inadvertently be stuck; always recap the needle after you have given any injection
