Where can I find GOOD syringes?


[jo...]

Recommended Posts

Can someone give me a link to GOOD rubber tipped syringes.  I am looking for 10 ml and 60 ml syringes.  Walgreens gave me some free 10 ml syringes, but they don't have the rubber inside and this seems to cause a lot of bubbles.  They were free, but very cheaply made and leaked.  I only have one good syringe and am afraid it may were out soon.

 

I have also purchased three different kinds of jars with ml marking on the side of the jar thinking it would be easier to just fill the jar up to the line, and guess what, they all show different measurements with 100 ml in them.  One was off by 10 ml (j&g) from amazon.

 

Thanks

Amazon.

 

And don't worry about the bubbles, they don't matter.

 

Don't get hung up on accuracy and precision, its not important.  A consistent procedure is much more important

The compounding pharmacy I used gave me PreciseDose oral dispensers from Medisca:

(They are manufactured in an ISO 13485 facility.)

 

Other Buddies have ordered:

BD 1 mL Syringe Slip Tip - Tuberculin

(The vendor also sells other sizes.)

 

FYI Another Buddie shared this helpful tutorial on how to read a syringe:

My doctor wrote me a prescription for syringes (for allergy and B12 shots). They are 1 and 3 ml. I don't think insurance covered them, but I did get a bag of them at the drugstore. It might be worth asking about. It may vary by location/area of the country. Not sure. I just know I had them on hand.

 

Oh. I do have to unscrew needles from them.
