#injection-technique 2025-12-18

how many sites are in your rotation

is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first

do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for

whats your sharps disposal setup, mine is a jar and i know thats wrong

coming back after 10 months, has the pinned technique guide changed

pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising

thats a reaction

do you count to five before withdrawing

the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small

45 degrees

Testing queue: 6 submissions open, 84 awaiting dispatch.

drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly

is bruising more about the needle or the aftercare

for the archive a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call

nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do

sorry to jump in do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass

90 degrees or 45

warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is

i bled a bit, is that a needle depth thing
