these big ass drawing needles are bullshit. they're big fuckin needles but they still take like a minute to draw out .4ml of gel
careful with large drawing needles. if your vials (i'm assuming) have that rubber stopper you'll punch pieces of it into the vial
it's better to use a small one and just eat the time commitment
anyway, they only gave me some 22 gauge drawing needles so i'm just going to assume that's what they meant for me to use. i guess i can look for some smaller injection needles next time around though
i think the risk is more rendering the contents no longer sterile than it is sucking up bits of rubber and injecting them (though that probably isn't good either)
22g is probably okay, i was worried they started you on 18g needles like they did me
it's called vial coring. you can look up techniques to avoid it, just searching the term on youtube should steer you right
I draw and inject with 23g needles, so you should be fine.
I did exactly this. When I called my doctor about that, she said to try and avoid getting the rubber bits in the syringe when I fill it, which was not comforting.
def look into the proper draw technique to avoid vial coring if you still have this issue.
