What are contaminated needles?
The tools used by doctors and nurses should always be thoroughly sterilized according to established safety protocol. The needles used on you or a loved one can become contaminated with infectious diseases when the hospital fails to have them properly cleaned, or if someone does not practice safe medical techniques. Additionally, improper disposal could lead to someone accidentally getting jabbed with a contaminated needle.
Contaminated needles have the potential to spread serious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C. If you or someone you know has become ill due to contact with a contaminated needle, contact the experienced Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 215-238-1130.
