In Taiwan medical SOP training, for the safety reason, the paramedic is taught to recap with single hand. But under the urgent situation or without working platform, they might recap with both hands and the caliber of the cap is too small to do so safely, which might put themselves at risk of being pricked.
Without changing the original training and using experiences, we deigned the newopening from the side of cap so that nurses could recap the needle safely and easily.
