25gauge

[oldnoob]

hey guys, if usin a 25 gauge needles to inject unto the deltoids area issit ok to juz push the needle halfway in and inject. cuz whenever i push the whole 25 G in it feels as if the needle is comin out from the other side (inner arm) and the pain is hard to describe

um gauge is the thickness of the pin, not the legnth. use a 25g by 5/8'

o mine is a 1 and half inch ~ sorry

I use 1in for the delts and quads, 1.5in for the glutes, 5/8 for traps, bis, tris, lats.

i bury a 1 inch pin in the delts with no problem. If i dont sink it deep enough, it hurts under the skin and itches.

I created a guide with the syringe cover by cutting it down and then sliding it over the pin I am using, that way I can insert it all the way to the beginning of the "guide" which keeps the depth consistent. I have 25 1 1/2 inch pins so I use a guide to shorten it to about 1" for spot injections. So if needed create a guide so you can inject at any depth you want.

1 inch is best , why 25 G though?

[facile]

the larger the gauge number, the smaller the actual pin is, so a smaller pin goes in easier and should minimize scar tissue.
An 18 gauge is like digging a spoon through your skin.

The smaller the pin also (as mentioned by others) draws and injects oil based products slower, but it will still work.
