Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Costco sells 'em by the 100, but NOT this big. They are only the tiny insulin ones, though they carry about 8 different ones. But I asked and no such luck with 25g. So, being utterly medically ignorant, is 22 bigger or smaller?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 22 gauge is a bigger barrel (of the needle) than a 25 gauge. O B-12 shots > > > I have a question about b-12 shots.
