same pin

**frank_frank** · 05-29-2004, 07:19 AM

hey all,
i was wondering how many times u can reuse the same pin to withdraw from a vial...

im using a 23g to withdraw and shooting with a 25g, and i only bought a few 23s...

im worried that it will increase the risk of contaminating the vial and therefore getting an infection or something

you can shoot with a 23, i've been using 23s to shoot with, depends where you're shooting..as to the vial hmm i personally use a new one each time but id imagine youd be ok using it say twice, aslong as u cap the needle and possibly run it under hot water?

sorry i cant be more help

Pinz are cheap Bro, so there is really no reason to ever use a needle more than once.
This would fall under "safety first". Don't risk it, get more pinz. (IMO)

once........this the best way........or else you are taking unnessecary risks

Once and toss it Bro....they're WAY too cheap to risk unecessary infection.

Also buy some 18 gauge way better and quicker to draw with than 23'"s
