"B-D, TERUMO, Etc"............

Whats the difference between B-D, Terumo, Exel and other pin brands??? I know B-D cost a little more than most, but whats the real difference???

Some say the dullness of the pin. It really doesn't matter much to me since my first 2 cycles I was using the 20 gauge needles. I know the ones I got from my friend who is a vet assistant are nice and work really well. I have never ordered online. I am sure someone well have more info as to what brands are better.

I used bd's for my very first cycle years agao and it was like injecting with a butterknofe they wer so dull. I have used terumo ever since and will never go back.

I've used a shitload of both BD and Terumo and I'd say I prefer Terumo by far.

I've used both. Don't really notice a difference between the two.

Always boggles my mind with this question. If you search some old thread about this you'll see some long discussions about it.

I work in the industry on the sales side. BD is more expensive for Physicians, and it's because their products are considered the standard. Everyone else is just keeping up.

I take all my BD pins directly from my warehouse and I've never, ever, gotten a dull needle. Ever.
