Getting the oil out the vial???

**mrfog** · 05-10-2005, 12:14 PM

When using a glass top vial, as long as I disinfect the vial first, am I safe to use the same needle to withdraw the oil and to inject?

The inside of the vial has to be sterile doesn't it? Afterall thats what your injecting.

Can I withdraw the oil and then inject straight away?
Or do I need to put a new needle on?

its not necassary to change needles. some people do a larger gauge needle just to withraw easier, then change to a smaller one to make it easier to inject. but u dont have to .

Good. Its only infection issues I am concerned about.

if ur that concerned .. then just change needles i've always done it and never had an infection and besides the needle will get a little dull and can hurt a little more.
Dont see why u shouldnt change needle, they are very cheap aswell..

most change the needle cause when drawing, the needle dulls from penetrating the rubber cap. You want as sharp a needle as possible when injecting.

if u are talking about a vial.. as in with a stopper, than i wld switch to a new needle... if u are talking about an ampule than u can get away with the same needle as long as u don't go banging it around on the bottom of the amp.... jmo
