You guys use a different withdraw needle every time?

[Mr. Black]

One of my buddies who has been juicing for 15 years told me his doctor said it was ok to use the same withdraw needle multiple times. It seems to me like sterility might be an issue? what do you guys think?

I do this all the time for 2 reasons.

speed. I use a larger need to withdraw and pull substances out of vial or amp.

sharpness. It can be a real pain to insert into muscle after needle has been through the rubber stopper or touches the bottom of a glass amp.

I usually use the withdraw needle for about a week, wipe it down with iso-alcohol before and after withdraw.

I use a new one every single time. I'd rather be safe than sorry, hell they are dirt cheap so why risk it. I'm sure it's not as much of a risk as using an injecting needle over but, I'd rather pay a few more cents than have to worry about it.

well, considering teh high price of needles at around 25 cents a pop i can totally understand using the same needle.

I agree.

For the price being so cheap, why risk it.

If you buy a gearbox you can get the syringes with a 18 or 20g already on it to draw with. so the draw pins are somewhat thrown in free. mind as well

if you really want to save needles, you could use one needle, and preload a whole bunch of darts for later use.......(using a new needle to inject of course.

but yeah, like everyone said, they are so cheap anyway......

ive done it when i ran out and just used iso alcohol to clean it.. i would draw up some iso into the syringe a few times then draw the oil up and swtich to a new needle..

now i order pins with a 20g and draw then pop a 25g on there and shoot
