    Low, No & Zero Waste Syringes - Suggestions?

    I've been spending quite a bit of time on line searching and researching No Waste /No Dead Space syringes.

    I've waded through a Lot of unnecessary information to come up with just a couple styles/brands.

    I've seen a couple mentioned in various threads, so I thought I would start a new thread to try & get some suggestions as to which styles/brands guys are using.

    Hopefully this will help others down the road as well, when they attempt to search the forums.

    With that said - Any Suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Not sure if it helps but. I pull another .05 in and invert the syringe doing that to clear the needle then do my needle change. This leaves a small bubble that I can use to push all the T out. I have almost no waste.

    I found Medint 1 ml 25G X 5/8" Tuberculin Syringe works great for subQ injections. 100 for $7.50. They have a little tip on the plunger to get all the good stuff out of the syringe. Sorry, can't post link!

    I use the following 26ga - no dead space design (no issues of wasted test or needing an air bubble).
