Oops, I'm sorry..I meant the actual needle. I do my own vaccines and ran out and now I can remember the needle size. But thanks so much for responding!!!!

If they are sucking fairly well I use the 3-5 cc that way they can kind a pull it out of the syringe, if i want to give it slowly and not very much to prevent aspiration and play it cautiously I use the 1 cc syringe.
Sometimes you might be able to get clean ones from your Dr. office, because if they buy syringes with needles on them but have to change out the needle, say they don't have single needles so they pull it off another syringe they don't want to use, then they have these laying around. They are clean but not sterile anymore so they can't use them to give patients injections.
It could save you some money instood of having to go out and buy box. |
