Easier to use syringes

[JanD236]

I si both my thighs and upper arms, the latter mean that I need to be able to inject single handed and with my left hand at times.

I often found that the usual syringes ‘stick’ when trying to plunge them. I’ve just discovered BD Discardit syringes on Medisave.co.uk and they slide much more easily when I plunge. They don’t have a black ‘stopper’ in them so perhaps this is why.

They were £3.40 for 100 and the SKU is 300928.

I thought I’d pass this on in case useful to anyone else.

I can be ambidexdrous that helps. For some reason I use one hand only to plunge . So really helpful to know thanks as it does stick at times .

The syringes slide very easily once they have been slid back and forth once. I do that when I first open the package, keeping the tip still within it to preserve sterility. Some slide the syringe open - put on the filling needle then place it into the ampoule - they then push the air out through the needle which then bubbles through the B12. I don't do that as I do not want micro air bubbles to be injected.
