Mock trial of retractable sharps. Using an intramuscular simulator model, personnel assessed the efficacy of retractable sharps. Briefly, personnel injected the model and activated the retraction mechanism via a push-then-pull motion to bring the needle inside the barrel of the syringe. These sharps eliminated occupational exposure to needles.
