在臨床環境中，針扎預防的核心原則是「嚴禁回套（No recapping）」。注射完成後，針頭應立即丟棄至防穿刺的銳器回收盒（Sharps container）。任何嘗試回套針頭、移除針頭或暴露針頭的行為，都會顯著增加針扎風險，導致血源性病原體（如 HIV, HBV, HCV）的傳播，必須嚴格遵守安全操作流程。
Sharps safety protocols strictly prohibit recapping needles to prevent accidental needlestick injuries. After administration, the entire syringe and needle should be disposed of immediately in a puncture-resistant sharps container. This standard practice minimizes the risk of transmitting bloodborne pathogens such as HIV, HBV, and HCV.
