安全針具（Needle-safety devices）是預防針扎傷害（Needlestick injuries）的工程控制（Engineering controls）。其機轉在於透過保護套或自動回縮機制，在針頭使用後立即覆蓋尖端。然而，這並不代表護理師可以忽略感染控制的其他環節，如手部衛生或正確的廢棄物處理程序。
Needle-safety devices are engineering controls designed specifically to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries by automatically covering or retracting the needle after use. They do not eliminate the need for proper sharps disposal, hand hygiene, or the rule that needles are single-use only. Proper infection control practices must still be followed alongside these safety features.
