WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY INSTRUMENTS, NEVER COMPROMISE. Bard-Parker® Safety Blades and Scalpels Since the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act of 2000, sharps injury rates in non-surgical settings have dropped by 31.6%, but have increased in surgical settings by 6.5%.* Many surgeons have been reluctant to adopt first-generation safety products, fearing that they would sacrifice the precision of tools they trust. Now, the craftsmanship, balance, and trusted reputation of Bard-Parker® are available in a metal Protected Blade System, so surgeons no longer have to choose between precision and safety.
