Quad Injection

[thelethalweapon]

Is 1" deep enough for a quad injection?

 

[Mac173]

Should be.
That's what I use.

 

[solidspine]

I have been doing 1/2 inch, no problem

well I hate so say uh..."big duh" on your question, but....

Think it through, these are INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTIONS, or IM. If you are injecting less than muscular, its SUBQ (subcutaneous).

NOW, let's lead you through a thinking process. Can the length of your needle reach the muscular quadricep region to inject 'into the muscle'?

OR, are you morbidly obese and cannot penetrate through the fat layer surrounding your muscle?

Only you can tell us how thick the fat layer is on your leg. If you weight 500 lbs, then you will not be able to b/c of the adipose tissue thickness.
If you weight 134 pounds, then duh, you can.

THink it through, disect a cat or leg of lamb and look at the tissue differences. IF you have a layer of fat, make sure your needle is longer than the fat pad.
Common sense and there is no answer to this question given you did not give stats

If you feel that you might be borderline and can't get a longer needle then you can try to create a well in the fat by pressing down with two fingers with a quarter-inch gap between them. Shoot into that gap, being sure not to graze the fingers as you pass between them.
