what size needle to use in the shoulder?

[redhonda]

were going to put 250 of sus into our shoulder, but what size needle? my freind has a needle that he used before but i need to get one. what size? 1 1/2, 21 gauge? and exactly how far should you stick the needle in?

25g 5/8" pins are perfect for delt injections...

i use 25 gauge 5/8ths of an inch on shoulder

 

[redhonda]

and then you just stick the whole needle in? the whole 5/8"?

I've buried 1 1/2 inchers in my delts without a problem...wouldn't advise it for everyone though, but it can be done.

I've used 23 1 1/2" I only put 1" in. It it highly unadvisable to bury the whole needle to the hub.

redhonda, i might be reading this wrong, but did you say you need to get one(1) needle? you know using the same needle twice is not good, right? sorry, but this just caught my attention. i hope this is mis-communication.
