25 gauge?

**nate da gr8** · 03-05-2004, 02:24 PM

Does anyone use the 25 gauge 1&1/2" to inject the glutes does it work.
I recently aquired some and was wondering if they work as good as the 22 or 23's if anyone has used a 25 g. please let me know
Thanks Bros

they will work- its just going to take a bit longer to push the oil out of a smaller dia. pin...
so go slow...

just fine. Slower is better. You may have to/want to heat oil-based gear beforehand though. Either way, no real problem and less tissue trauma.

That is all I use is 25 gauge 1" & 1 1/2" pins. No problems at all. Just takes a little bit more to push in the oil. No need to use anything bigger since that works just fine. I use a 20 gauge pin to draw my oil out of the vial.

What about aspirating with the 25...do you need to apply a lot of force to accomplish it or will the blood come even with all that oil in there?

It'll still come pretty easily.

Definitely agree with ironweb......use something like a 20 gauge to draw it out of the vial, 25's are a b*tch for me to draw out of....maybe i just suck though?

It is not hard at all to aspirate with a 25 gauge. I hit a vein in my delts one time and knew immediately. It was instant when the blood flowed into the syringe.

It is a bitch to draw with a 25. Get a larger pin to do that.
