Re: Syringe/needle size help..........

[Guest guest]

I draw the test up with a 22 guage needle in a 3cc syringe.It is thick as

oil.Then I take another syringe, remove the needle and squirt my dosage from the

1st to the 2nd syringe.I am able to draw up several doses this way and prevents

muliple punctures to the rubber stopper on the test vial.I inject with a

27guage,1 1/4 " needle.I am lean so this is long enough.If he is heavy, a 1 1/2 "

would be better.If you don't get it in the muscle, absorption is poor in the

fat.HCG is thin so I draw up with 27 guage and use it to inject IM.Can do that

sub q if you prefer.Just don't inject into the fat.Bacteriostatic water stings

while bacteriostatic normal saline is isotonic and doesn't hurt.Lot of different

ways to do this but just remember the test is very thick and takes for ever to

draw up with a tiny bore needle.Slow enough with the 22 for me. Phil

It would be easier to get some BD luer lock syringes with either a 21 or 22g

needle. Draw with that and then you can just switch the needle by covering it

and twisting it off. I inject IM with a 25g 1 " in the thigh and a 25g 5/8 " in

the delts. For HCG it use a 29g 1/2 " 1/2CC insulin syringe.
