The 141st Congress of Correction Conference is one of the largest mediums for engaging high-level decision makers at the federal, state, and local levels of corrections.

Exposure to blood and other body fluids occurs across a wide variety of occupations, however correctional personnel are at a greater exposure risk each and every day. Corrections personnel come to work with additional concerns relating to life-altering events such as accidental needle stick injuries. More than 22,000 inmates in federal and state prisons have HIV (almost four times the general population). Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is much higher among inmates than in the community. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the prevalence of Tuberculosis (TB) is up to 100 times higher in prison than in the community.
"The RevVac auto retractable vacuum safety syringe can provide a valuable solution to what appears to be frightening statistics related to not only providing safer injections but also a safer overall medical environment in our correctional institutions," stated Ron Wheet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited to be participating at the ACA conference and to demonstrate our innovative safety syringe."
