What is the best brand for needles and what are the proper specs (length,gauge) for example a glute shot shooting Sust and Deca?

I use BD 3cc 22guage 1.5" pins for the glutes and they work great.

I like a 22ga 1" in the quads.... quads are my site of choice. 22ga doesn't take as long to inject as a 23....

What about Terumo anyone tried them?

 

[MUSTANG_18]

Terumo is a very good brand, that or BD would both be great choices.

So 1 inch 23 gauge is good enough for a glute shot?

 

[MUSTANG_18]

That should be fine for a Glute shot as long as you don't have a fat ass lol

Monoject is best, no questions-every thing else is secondary.
B-D is next

The rest are junk in my opinion. I sell orthopedic implants and only use, see monoject and B-D in the O.R. or clinic.

21g 1 ½ inch for sticks cutting bevel
18g 1 ½ inch for draw

Terumo and BD are the most popularly used in hospitals and physician's offices.
