Thread: Syringe Sterilization?

  1. #1

    Syringe Sterilization?

    Ok, so I bought needles from ar-r, thinking I would get syringes with the needles.

    Well I got 100 needle tips, I only went with ar-r cuz they were a few cents cheaper then the last place I got my pins. But the last place gave me full syringes with needles

    Soo now I got 100 needle tips, I have two old syringe tubes that have been sitting in my trash can in my room for the past two months. They have had prop in them.

    My question is, can I take those two old syringe tubes clean them out and use them, and re-use them. Just switching out the needles tips?

    Seriously?? Get back on ar-r and get the syringes to put the needles on. Until then run them in boiling water.. Meaning put the empty syringes in boiling water and pull the plungers back so the water can get inside..

    I would not do that. Find out if your state allows for syringe sales at pharmacies.

    A. How do you know the boiling water wont warp the plastic making the plunger not seat right.

    B. There's no way he can keep it sterile after he boils it and reapplies the plunger.

    1st I am not saying this is the prefered way.. He should get more.. What I am saying is that I sterilize all of my sons plastic bottles with boiling water as recommended by the manufact.. PLastic and rubber have a much higher melting point than water.. It will be fine... Pistol you do not have to do it...

    Im not saying I do, I'm just saying reusing something made for single use is a bad idea. As for Scotty UV would be sweet to have.

    Thats not always the case. It depends what and how much you order. Ive had packages arrive in 3 days after ordering form Ar-r and packages that arrived a 9 or so days after I order both using regular shipping.

    I just googled your state, youre allowed to buy up to 20 from any pharmacy. If they get nosey tell them you inject B12, but theyre arent allowed to ask you anyway. Head to Walgreens.

    Damn for real?

    I just go in and say, I need 20 3cc sterile syringes? lol

    Yeah I was going to say I could use the excuse it's for b12 or for my dog. I have a cvs, and a walgreens.

    If I go get 20 from each store, that's 40. Will walmart pharmacy sell them?

    They should, there was a law enacted in your state in 2003, clean needle act to try to reduce the spread of drug related diseases. It should be any pharmacy but you may feel more comfortable at smaller places than a walmart.

    Honestly, I wouldnt say its for your dog haha. Often people who are doing something illegal are paranoid when there really is no need to be ( atleast when its something mild like this ). The man or woman at the pharmacy probly wont give a rats ass what your using them for so dont sweat it bro

    Thats your law
    (b) A person who is at least 18 years of age may
    purchase from a pharmacy and have in his or her possession up
    to 20 hypodermic syringes or needles.

    Yeah I just read that, that's awesome, saves me alot of hassle.

    Now, if I hit up each pharmacy in my town, can I go to the next town and hit up the cvs or walgreens there? Or will they keep my name on file?

    I know they keep my name on file when I purchase bronkaid, you can only get so much in 1 month.

    I just hope they have the right syringes.

    I'm just going to throw this out there.....

    I've got a background in sterilization..... about 8-9 years. Attempting to self sterilize is definately not a good idea. Most of these types of product go through a gamma irradiation process. The radiation penetrates the package and can sterilize the contents on the inside. Thats why the item is no longer considered "sterile" once it's opened.

    Now boiling a bottle and boiling a syringe are two different ball games. When you boil a baby bottle - you're attempting to kill the bacteria inside the bottle. Once you're done and fill the bottle back up again - the contents on the inside will enter the baby's mouth. If all the bacteria in that bottle isn't killed.... it's not the end of the world for the baby - it's not going to die. HOWEVER..... If you don't kill all the bacteria inside a syringe..... you will be injecting that bacteria into your muscle - causing an infection and a shit ton of hassle.

    Lastly..... Plastics are all different - they have different melting points. There are some plastics in the medical field that can go into an autoclave for sterilization at 270 degrees. Other plastics need a low temperature gas plasma sterilization or even a liquid chemical sterilization. While a baby bottle may be able to be boiled..... a syringe may very well warp in boiling water. It all depends on the plastics used.....

    Cool thanks for the info. When posting the op, I really didn't think about how important it is to have a sterile syringe.

    You are injecting that stuff into your muscle lol

    No such rules in my country, i can buy as many as they have in stock, also i am buying Test E , Nolvadex , Clomid , needles in almost all pharmancies in my country. I can buy even Armidex, Aromasin, Letro but they are expensive as hell. Converted from my currency to dollars Armidex costs equal to average salary here, but one ampule of Test E 1ml/250mg is equal to one Coca-Cola bottle , nolvadex is also cheap as hell.

    Is this for real?

    What are you, a heroin junky? Just get some more syringes and pay more attention to what you're buying next time.

    BTW, boiling water doesn't sterilize, it sanitizes. There is a difference.

    Situation 1: Infection, antibiotics, doctors visit, visit to the hospital, visit to the opertating table, removal of infected muscle, everybody find out your on the gear, recovery, loss of strength and muscle and thats that.

    Situation 2: Pay a few bucks and buy some syringes.

    I would have to pause.... but then I would type Gregg Valentino's bicep on the internet and I think I would be able to make the choice.

    Happy hunting
