Needle Size For Site Injection Help

**goldsgymmiami** · 01-27-2006, 09:10 AM

NEED TO KNOW WHAT SIZE NEEDLE IS USED FOR SITE INJECTION
AND IF ITS A DIFFRENT SIZE FOR EACH PART OF THE BODY

I HAVE A 22G 1/2 INCH NEEDLE
AND I NEED TO INJECT TEST & DECA

22g 1/2 inch is useless for any site. You need 5/8" for Delts, 1" for quads, and 1.5" for glutes, anywhere from 22g to 25g is fine.

Agreed. 5/8" also for bi's, tri's, pecs as well.

I always used 1" 23 or 25g. Everywhere you can imagine. delts, pecs, tri's, traps, lats, bi's, quads, calves, and glutes. if you dont have low bf then probably 1.5" on glutes

You can go as thick as you want, it'll just hurt more.
