you still have to put the plastic cap back on so the water dont get into the syringe..dont worry bro,if you put it on tight ,nothing will get in.besides i always wipe the pin with an alcohol swab after inserting through the rubber stopper before i insert into a muscle...cant be to careful.

I've read a thread where someone else were complaining about pain with the 300. May have been pain while injecting though.
Good Luck bro!

Insights into IM injections from my old buddy the Registered Nurse:


Wash your hands first! This is probably the singular most important medical advance in the last five-hundred years. Even doctors and nurses forget to wash their hands. Use warm water and soap and a fresh towel, let hands air dry.

Wipe the area to be injected in a circular motion, using a fresh alcohol swab, from center to edges, being careful not to touch the area with your fingers.

Wait until the alcohol has dried, and then inject immediately.

DO NOT touch or wipe the needle with alcohol to "sterilize it more" before injecting. The virgin pin, in its original package, is already sterile. By passing the pin through a rubber stopper wiped with alcohol which has been allowed to dry; or using one needle to draw from the vial and another to inject, you guarantee that the needle is uncontaminated. A needle that has been " extra sterilized" by wiping it with an alcohol swab is now considered "contaminated" by hospital standards.

Maintain a "sterile field", always. A sterile field is the area on the table, right in front of you, above the waist. Your washed hands and sterile syringes/pins, must always remain in this field. If you turn your back on the sterile field, it is no longer considered sterile (your "back" may have touched it, and your back is not part of the sterile field.) If your hands stray from the sterile field, they must be considered un-sterile, and everything must be thrown away and the proceedure restarted. (I know this is excessive, but it's what the Quality Control Office implements as standard hospital policy)

No jewelry, rings, watchbands, cologne, handcream, or fake nails (this may only be a problem for female bodybuilders right before a competition.) Back in the day, nurses had to wear their hair up and under a snood, and were not even allowed to wear a wedding ring while working, as bacteria thrives in the warm, moist places against the skin which jewelry provides. Nurses used to have "nursing watches" which hung upside down and were pinned to their smock for checking pulses and such.

Do not ever keep anything that must be kept sterile under a sink!! This is one of the worst, and easiest, mistakes to make. My friend used to spend half his time, it seems, making the rounds of all the examination and operating rooms and throwing out thousands of dollars of medical supplies that could no longer be guaranteed sterile. If the sink drips, the sterile package gets wet and becomes a conduit for bacteria. the package then dries and no-one is the wiser. By the by... we got some of our best resources from these "clean sweeps".

I know this is all a bit excessive, but my old buddy was a great shooter, and I never had a painful injection or infection from his skillful ministrations.

Any actual nurses or doctors out there might want to share their own experiences at how to prevent injection infections.

Cheers,
