Beyond Needlesticks: Multi-Chamber Bags Enhanced with Smart Injection and Infusion Technology

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a lifesaving intervention utilized across diverse patient populations, spanning all age groups and care environments, ranging from intensive care units to home-based settings. Due to its high complexity, PN is also a high-alert medication with a potential risk of contamination, medication errors, and needlestick injuries (NSIs). Commercial multi-chamber bags (MCBs) are a pivotal advancement in improving the safety of healthcare workers (HCWs) involved in PN delivery, presenting a more efficient approach to PN. Ergonomic principles of MCB design play an important role by mitigating the potential risk of errors and NSIs, thereby improving patient and HCW safety and efficacy.
