Cheap source for the hard-to-find 27G x 1/2" LDS insulin syringes fixed needle.

$17.73 + $3.31 (tax)+ $9.95 (shipping) = $30.99 (CAD)

Primo for injecting sub-q or shallow IM.

Quick for drawing/injecting oil-based T.

TERUMO® double-bevel, ultra-thin (extra-thin) wall needles.

Just placed an order and received next business day.

Needle
Made of stainless steel, which is siliconized to allow easier penetration, thus minimizing patient discomfort. Available in different lengths and gauges to suit individual clinical and patient needs.


There are three types of needle walls:

Regular Wall: This is the most common wall thickness. The thickness of the steel wall allows a good flow rate and minimizes flexing when the needle is inserted into a vial stopper or patient.

Thin Wall: As shown in the diagram, the thin wall needle has a narrower steel wall, allowing a greater volume of fluid to pass through it. The flow rate is typically equivalent to that of a needle one gauge larger. This is especially important with very thin needles.

Extra Thin Wall: This has the thinnest steel wall, provides higher flow, and requires less force to deliver medication

@madman I ordered these as it was the first one you posted


I'm finding with the 2 piece combo that there's around .04cc of testosterone left in the needle (I think this is called dead space?). Is there a trick to inject all of the testosterone or do I have to compensate for the 0.4cc's I'm not getting?

Unfortunately there was an issue with the picture in the link which is an LDS insulin syringe 27G x 1/2" fixed needle (orange cap) not matching the description.

The description states Terumo Syringe & Needle Combo which is not an LDS insulin syringe with a fixed needle so there will be dead space and some of the medication will be wasted every time you draw the oily solution.

No need to worry about having to compensate for the loss.

Just draw your normal dose.

This is the one they are selling in the picture below.

You are better off purchasing the BD 27G x 1/2" LDS insulin syringe which has a permanently attached needle.
