Exposure prone procedures (EPPs) are medical processes where there is potential for the healthcare worker to become injured and bleed into a patient’s open tissues. EPPs involve the HCW’s hands (gloved or ungloved) making contact with sharp instruments, needle tips or sharp tissues such as teeth inside a patient’s open body cavity, wound or confined anatomical space where the HCW’s hands or fingertips are not completely visible throughout the entirety of the procedure.
