I recently moved and the Pharmacy I am at now has limited needles. Anyhow, I am tired of getting it from the pharmacy in general so I have tried finding them online and it has been a pain in the a**.
I shoot IM in the shoulder and I draw with 23G and inject with 27G… I know there are a lot of you that have different sizes, I like the longer needle too. That said, I like my routines (to a fault) and I can’t find 1ML Syringes with a 27G 1-inch needle. I have tried all over Amazon which is the easiest. I have tried other sites too. I am struggling and between the sites and pharmacy, it is too darn hard getting the right needles.
I’ve ordered from here a good bit. Fast shipping and what I’ve ordered seems pretty good. My last order of slin pins were a little dull but I was trying the super cheap brand as they had the size I wanted. Everything else I’ve gotten (luer lock) has been great.
I tried the Amazon ones and they were cheaper than cheap. All the Pharmacy could give me is a 1ML 25G syringe. The last time I did that in my delt, a good bit leaked. What am I doing wrong?! I have looked at other sites and nothing longer than .5 inch
EasyTouch® U-100 27g, 0.5cc / mL, 1/2"(Box of 100) $14.90 on Amazon
It fills fast.
I have used 30g, 0.5ml, 12.7 mm, BD brand, too, and, also BD 31g, 0.3ml, 8mm with a rack to hold the bottle of T while the syringe fills, as it takes awhile - also, they cost 3x more. I will likely go back to the smaller gauges because 30g has zero pain for me and 31g, jeez, cannot feel a thing (they do bend easily). I bought on Amazon.
I stopped using the harpoons after reading a study showing that abdominal sub q worked … at least in terms of TT levels produced.
