Before the incident
I was sedating an animal with ketamine using a 23g needle and 3 ml syringe. I had just put a NHP back in the cage next to the ones that were needing to be sedated and picked up the syringe to go sedate the next ones.
What happened
I went to pull the cap off the needle once the animal was restrained well and the cap fell off the needle as I touched it. With the momentum of my hand to take the cap off I grabbed the base of the needle and immediately pulled my hand back.
Injury or illness
needle stick through gloves on left pointer finger
Object or substance involved
syringe needle
Summary line
Ee sustained needle stick when removing needle cap to continue sedating NHPs.
