Needle 30 G 1 inch?

[johnt]

I am going to switch from once per week injection using 25 G 1 inch needle to twice per week. I am looking at the 30G 1inch needle by Easy Touch. I was surprised to find a 30G 1 inch long. Has anyone had any experience using this needle?

I would worry about it bending and just stick to 25g 1” or 5/8

I use 28g 1/2” needles and they’re very fragile. I wouldn’t want to go smaller and longer.

Fixed insulin needles do not come in a 1" needle length.....as that length of needle would never be needed to inject insulin let alone a 30 gauge which would be highly prone to bending/breaking off when injecting.

You must mean 1cc (1ml) syringe?

Common needle length for fixed insulin syringes are 1/2" or 5/16".

Vince I was surprised to see 30G 1 inch needle available. Here is a link

why would you want to use this?

I would recommend using and Easy Touch 29 g half inch syringe. It's the only syringe I use, for both HCG and testosterone. If you inject with cottonseed oil I would then use a 27 g syringe.

Hello, new here, and thought I'd give my two cents. I was using 25G 1" for a while into the quads. I use 1" because I'm a big guy 6'-6" and over weight, so between the skin and fat layer on my quads I think I have about a 1/2" right there. I use a 1" to make sure I"m hitting the muscle.

I was taking the HCG SubQ, but wanted to try IM. I did that for a couple weeks in the quads, but noticed that I was getting sore, and having some trouble. I think I must have a lot of nerves in the quads, because I was surprised how often I got that hitting a nerve shock, and had to pull out.

I decided to buy some 30G 1" BD brand and give that shot. I went back to SubQ with the HCG in the tummy area with the short 30G insulin pins as I didn't notice any different when trying IM with the HCG.

I just started using the 30G 1" BD brand for for TestC in the quads, and here's my take. It's much less painful which is awesome, but secondly, breaks the skin a lot easier. My skin is tough as hell, and with the 25G sometimes I could barely get the needle started. I've seen my skin depress almost 1/2" before the needle would break through. I don't like that. Lastly, it takes a lot of pressure on the plunger to push that TestC through that little 30G needle, so it goes slow, probably 30 seconds to push .250. I see now that going slow is probably less traumatic to the muscle.

The needle goes in so easy, I don't see how you would break it off, and to bend it, you'd have to be pretty careless.

I say give it a shot (NPI) that's the only way you'll know if it works for you.

Lastly, given the pressure it takes to depress the plunger, I suspect you'd want to stay with the quads. I think it would be difficult for harder to reach areas, but I'm not very flexible, so I could be wrong on that.

When I hit the quads, I get the needle in with one hand, but then steady the syringe with my left hand, and then push the plunger with the right as it takes a lot of pressure.

Thanks Jaysun, where did you find BD Brand 30G 1 inch?

 

[johnt]

why would you want to use this?

I was thinking best of both worlds. Deep enough with 1 inch to go into muscle but thin enough 30G to lessen discomfort. I was surprised they made 30G 1 inch long as I too have concerns about it breaking.

They're not a common size, and take a little doing to find. I got some on eBay. There's a couple boxes on there right now, but the price is not the best. I got a box of 100 for 14.99. The two boxes that are on there right now cost 27.00 and the other is 45.00 for a box of 100. If you want to see them, search for "305128 BD" I guess the one for 27.00 is not too too bad. 14.99 is better.

Alternately searching the web for the same search turns up a little. Drugsupplystore.com which I know nothing about, appears to have them for 36.99

I think your link is a better option. I'll probably get them from there here on out.

I inject daily and like to rotate my injections from my shoulders to my VG. I use an easy touch 29g half inch syringe, for shallow IM and never had any issues with scarring.
