reusing drawing syringe

[theblitzkrieg]

I draw tren ace ed from a multi dose vial and backload insulin syringes using a 23g. Would it be safe to reuse one syringe for drawing only or do I have to continue wasting a new one everyday?

Bacteria are invisible to the naked eye and can live in more places than we can. Given how cheap pins are, do you really want to take that risk?

On a different note (but relevant to the thread)-
I recently ran out of the 18g drawing needle, and have just been reusing the same one (just to draw out)
I use an alcohol pad on the rubber stopper each time and put the needle back in its cover after using. Is it fine to continue doing this until new needles come in? (Approx. 1 1/2 week) Any thoughts welcome.

I heard if you lick it clean afterwards it should be sterile for next day use.... LOL jk man. Not worth the risk reusing even to just draw.

I'd just use the 25g or w/e size needle you use to inject with to draw until you get your new pins personally.

No, even exposing the needle to air makes it in sterile over time. Learned that in PA school. So recapin the needle after using it to draw will make it in sterile over time. Just what I learned, that's my two cents

Yes I do. That's common in the hospital setting as well. As long as you don't recap and keep using to re draw your fine.

I draw and pin with the same 23g needle, dont care for all the fuss of drawing with a big needle and injecting with an itty bitty one....thats puss.

Pins are cheap as fuck bro dont risk it. I always draw with a 18g makes it so easy.

in my hospital setting-ER, i never use the same needle to inject as i did to draw up the meds... same syringe yes, but we have a specific blunt tip needle to draw any meds out of vials. Every time you stick a needle into a rubber stopper, it becomes less sharp which thereby increases pain.

Different hospitals have different procedures and protocols. We don't practice that in my hosp. We are a county trauma center, too cheap to use different needles to draw and pin.

Too cheap for blunt tip needles???? They're like .50 a box! Haha!!

 

[bigdaddyC]

That's LA county for ya man...

 

[jagbc]

i use one to draw and one to inject. For the price of needles its not worth risking it

 

[ronrr]

ill never use a blunt syringe... per box is 100 you wont go threw that using 2 syringes one to draw and one to inject call it a waist if you want and ill call you cheap

 

[jkr2020788]

i take my shit from the hosp. im not telling anyone to buy them, just an example of why they should use two seperate needles per injection

 

[Turkey_535i]

Yeah that's my feeling too, why take the chance of infection and reduce pain for a few cents, seems like a no brainer.
