Could it be that pathological a laboratory may accidentally reuse the disposable needle in india?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely.: Disposable means just that - dispose after one-time use. So if they are re-using it, they are putting all patients and staff at risk for infection but also potentially breakage of the needle while in someone.
