Why are single use needles and disposable items so important?
Single use needles and disposable items are key factors in helping to insure a minimization of cross contamination between clients. While items like needle groupings can appear clean, it is impossible to insure that pathogens are not trapped in the interior of the grouping or in the crevices of the solder, which binds them. Disposable items, such as ink caps, razors, wash cups, and plastic barriers applied to items, cannot be placed in an autoclave, and therefor must be replaced between clients.
