Wrong sized needle

[BBall6]

I ordered 23g 1.5" for the glutes and 25g 1" pins for everywhere else. I guess they were out of the 1" so they sent me 25g 1.5" pins instead.

I'm sure the 1.5" will be fine on the thigh, but do you think it would be ok to use on the delt as well and just leave about .5" of the needle out or do I need to find shorter needles.

I was about to start shooting prop ED starting today or tomorrow, but just don't want to run out of sites before getting shorter needles if that is the route i need to go.

Thanks

You can use the 1.5s fine just don't put them all the way in.

^^^ i agree, you wont want to shoot again if you hit a nerve, especially in your delts. do the same with every other injection site too like biceps, tris and quads

And if you do use them make sure you know what your doing, once your into the depth you want, aspirate and inject while keeping the needle in at the same depth throught injection, don't want to be going in or out a little after aspirating as you might go in a vein.

id have them send me what i ordered..

[BBall6]

Thanks guys. I will see if they will send the the correct order. If not, I will probably just order more from somewhere else and use what I have for a while. $15 worth of syrignes isn't worth that much of a fight or even the trip to the post office to send them back if thats what I need to do.

I also have a buddy that can help if i have too much trouble keeping the .5" sticking out without moving the needle around, its just an extra hassle to need to stop by his place once or twice a week.

So bottom line, I'll keep using what I have and just be a little more careful until I see when I can get the correct length.

Yes,,indeed...i think you can make them work. If not order another box of the 1".

Be careful. I've had a hard time before holding pins at a certain length throughout the entire injection.

me too. i would just re order the correct pins. not worth the hassle for an extra couple bucks IMO.
