Piece of rubber stopper in Test. was created by TheMachine099
Okay guys I did a injection on Friday and I used a 18g to draw. I saw that it made a tiny mark on the rubber stopper of the vial. When I had a look at my gear tonight I noticed a very small piece of the rubber stopper in the vial at the bottom. Should I be concerned? I don't really care about the rubber,my only worry is contamination? I do wipe the rubber stopper with a alcohol wipe every time before I draw and after. Any input would be appreciated.

I have never seen that happen. It wouldnt concern me to much if it comes from the lower stopper rubber.

Please dont inject the thing :P :P :P

Ek sal maar mooi moet mik om hom mis te suig haha. Sal maar miskien n kleiner naald gebruik sodat die rubbertjie nie in gesuig kan word nie.

18g is dik hoor. Ek gebruik 20g (geel dop) en dit suig vinnig genoeg.

Met watter gauge spuit jy?

Ek gebruik 24g, maar ek's 'n TRT pasiënt so ek soek so min inpersing as moontlik (spuit elke vir 4 dae vir die res van my lewe lol FML)

22/23g is die norm, di's 100%. Rede hoekom ek vrae, as die tweede naald te groot was, is daar die gevaar dat jy die rubber insuig. Maar ek dink die verskil is groot genoeg dat die olie se vloei net sal stop want die rubber druk teen die loop se punt. Hoop dit maak sin, jy sal veilig wees. Di's wat saak maak.

My opinion: Try using insulin syringes if you can get a hold of them. It works very well for people who need to do frequent injections, but have built up some scar tissue. (though I wouldn't pin glutes with it)
