B-D's verses Terumos

[drveejay11]

Anyone who has used them BOTH have an argument for one verses the other???

 

[Lift Chief]

I've used em both and couldn't tell a difference. From what i've heard though- if people do have a preference it seems to be for the BDs... some claim they're sharper.

 

[drveejay11]

Thanks..............anyone else?

 

[projection]

I get terumo's for free so I guess Ill stick with them.

[drveejay11]

TERUMO'S ALL THE WAY FOR ME

terumos did perfectly fine for me. i dont care, just as long my gear gets into me quickly and effectively.

 

[brwhodat1]

I doesn't matter whatever is cheaper. Even vet needles feel the same.

 

[mdd]

i'm a terumo man..... i think they are actually sharper.


although with BD it seems you can get a little extra room for air when aspirating, which comes in handy with 3cc shots

 

[XBiker]

Terumo.

I prefer B-D. They seem to operate a bit smoother than Terumo.

 

[drveejay11]

Damn....it's about 50/50

 

[drgoodbody]

Terumo all the way - I seldom feel the needle going in. With BD, I always feel it more (a little pinch or twinge). Just think the tips are not cut the same way as Terumo; not just an issue of sharpness but also shape of the needle so that it eases into the tissue with minimal pressure.

I find BD to be much sharper for a smoother injection

 

[no clone]

BD all the way!

 

[mvmaxx]

Neither. I use a sharpened turkey baster.

 

[Beezers]

I prefer the B-D. The have the larger "grip" flaps at the top for better stablization and handling. The Luer lock also slides on easier and the needles are never bent, whereas with Terumo some of the 1.5 inchers are slightly bent which can make for an un-even entry into the muscle.

a sharp pin is a sharp pin. i use either...

 

[JG1]

doesn't matter at all
