30g x 8mm (or shorter) insulin syringe supplier?

[Schenks]

Hi there - I am wondering if anyone can tell me where to get ultra-fine or micro-fine, narrowest gauge, shortest-needle insulin syringes, please? I am a total novice and can only locate them - and their 6mm-long sisters - in the USA from BD, who don't supply them to Europe or the UK. Naturally. Help, please?

You can get 32G needles that fit normal syringes, from - exchangesupplies.org/shopdi...

Alternatively, if you've seen something from BD, they have a UK site - bd.com/scripts/uk/productsd...

[Schenks in reply to fbirder]

thank you. I cannot find any way to purchase anything on the BD site, though!

[Schenks in reply to fbirder]

P.s. Do you know of any suppliers of shorter needles?

[fbirder in reply to Schenks]

When in doubt check Amazon.

[Schenks in reply to fbirder]

Thanks, but these are pen needles. Can we use diabetic pen drivers?

Hi Schenks,

Glad that you have taken the decision to SI.

Have you tried Medisave.

[Schenks in reply to Jose651]

Thanks, Jose. Yes, I've been on the site but can't for the life of me find where to actually buy the products. Am I missing something here?

[Jose651 in reply to Schenks]

Couldn't get back to you S,

HU is playing up badly today my end. I know from Your TUK post that you had loadddds of replies,

Obviously you plan to inject SC. It will be grand S. Have a wee dram and go for it, lol

Hi there it's me again - they do an insulin syringe with needle attached which is good. To order I just phoned them and used visa - no problem. Hope this helps, bye for now.

[Schenks in reply to busterboy]

No, no! Come back! I don't understand - who did you phone?

Hope that you are sorted by now, but from Medisave I ordered these

BD Microlance 3 Needles Yellow 30g x 0.5" x 100

SKU: ND304

1 £2.51

plus shipping and handling and plus VAT

For my first tentative try at SI I bought just 20 of everything and from Exchange Supplies I got these

Reference: UY

Description: Unisharp: Yellow 30 gauge 13mm (½ inch) needle

Qty/Price (exc VAT): 20 @ £0.0700 = £1.40

again plus shipping and VAT.

Both very straight forward to deal with after I had had a few dummy runs through their websites. LOL

[Schenks in reply to Harvena]

Thank you Heavens. I wonder if you would mind letting me have the actual link to Meditate, please? For some reason I just can't connect to the site and find the purchasing platform. I'd be ever do grateful.

[Harvena in reply to Schenks]

If this works OK it should take you directly to the needles and syringes page at Medisave

medisave.co.uk/consumables-...

These are the needles

medisave.co.uk/b-d-microlan...

I got these for drawing up

Hope this helps, let us know how you progress with SI

[Schenks in reply to Harvena]

IT WORKED!

Thank you so much. I will - you can be sure of that! 😘 😀
