Needles

nevlaw · 16-04-2005, 06:58 PM

Hi after advice from the board before i was told to use 23g 1 1/2 inch needles for injecting into the glutes.

However i cant find these two sizes on medisave.

Does it really matter what size the needle and gauge are?

For glutes you will definately need a 1 1/2 but could get away with a 1 1/4, the guage for injecting needs to be as close to 23g as you can get. Too big and its a bit like a harpoon and too small and you will have trouble getting the gear to pass through a small needle, especially if its oil based.

i use 1/1.4 23g for glutes unless you have a fat ass

Unless you're super lean you should use 1.5" pins for glute shots. Getting the depot deep in the muscle will improve uptake and will avoid SubQ shots. 23g is a good balance between even-flow of oil and not creating too much scar tissue. I'd try to find another pin source.

thats a good question, usually its me looking for good us sources for stuff!! good luck in your search, i use 22 guage needles and it really isnt that bad. then again my ears are 4 guage holes and counting them i have 11 piercings so i guess i might be an exception as i like the stick.
