Re use needles

I ran out of clean needles.........first let me say more are on order.....

If i am forced to use an old needle........what is the most effective way to clean it..

Does the plunger need to be cleaned, or only the syringe?

I've never re-used a needle or attempted to clean one either. That sounds way too risky to me. I imagine running the entire rig including the needle through one of those sanitizers like they use at dental offices to clean the dental instruments might work but I’d still advise against it.

I've used an old pin before, I just wiped the outside of the pin with alcohol on a tissue and did what I had to do. But let me say this: Dull pins suck, and so do infections so if at all possible wait.

If I were you I'd just start hustling some places, make phone calls to friends that juice, any person at the gym that juices, vets, whatever. Use your social skills.

agreed...it sucked...but IF you are going to reuse...only reuse once...make sure you take a warm shower...clean your skin....and insted of WHIPPING your pin...swish it around in alcohol and let it evaporate...and after reused...dont reuse it again...watch your leg...glute, etc, where ever you put it...if redness starts to get irratated...take 100mg of benadryl every 4 hours. and the infection shouldnt get worse....just hope your order comes in soon.

ya...ask a friend for a few...or go to like a horse clinic or something...and buy a few 25 cents a pin...better than 15 bucks worth of benadryl and maybe a trip to the doctor.

would not recomend reusing, I do know a guy that reuses the syringes but not the needles, I wouldn't reuse either one. U should see what a needle looks like under a microscope after its used one time. I saw pics of it in Paramedic class, they have tiny metal splinters on them.
