Is 25g x 1 inch needles too thin for intramuscular injections? I usually do 23 g but this is what I can get. I plan to shot my butt and shoulders thanks guys
I use them for the majority of my injection. They should be fine although one inch may be a little short for glute shots, but it depends on how lean you are.
Make sure you load with a lower gauge needle first. then screw on the 25 gauge for the inject. When pushing a heavy viscous oil through a 25G pin you will find that it takes a lot of steady pressure to get the oil through. You will be wondering what it will take to get it thru! Instead...warm the oil after you load it into the syringe by running hot water over the barrell of the syringe for a few minutes. This heats the oil and makes it thinner (less viscous) to go through the needle. The result is a nice thin needle inject with almost zero pain and a smooth injection with less scarring of the muscle tissue
