Butterfly Valves/Needles

[BLUELIGHT2008]

Can someone tell me where to get butterfly valves/needles from, as I have no idea?

Does anyone also know where to get catheters from? (apart from stealing these things from hospitals)?


And can anyone tell me any information about these devices and when and how they should be used?,
Also if anyone knows of any websites that mentions the above then please post, Thank You.

I also need information on where to get a tourniquet from, like they have in the hospitals and QML?

Welcome to bluelight...

Are you specifically needing butterfly needles? If so I can't really help, others on here most likely can...

For needle exchange in QLD check out http://www.health.qld.gov.au/qnsp/

I'm sure someone will be of a little more help than me here.

I'd call around to your local needle exchanges, and if they don't stock what you need then use the internet.

I'm pretty lucky, my local exchange stocks butterfly clips, wheel filters etc. at no cost, and it makes shit much easier for me. Butterfly clips especially, since I have really deep and shitty veins.

Cannulas you mean?

IV Cannula? Yes, also called a catheter but so is the item you stick up any orifice for any fluid....

If you're.intending to use a butterfly needle for a.period of time and not for just the one injection, you have to be.extremely aware and conscious of possible contamination of the line through wreckless care and sterilisation. I wouldn't recommend keeping them in overnight, for example, outside.of hospital.setting for this reason.

Use it when you need to then remove it. Imo there is too much a.risk for any contamination for.your average user, who is less likely to be perinent about the maintemance need.to keep.sterile.

Most NSPs will provide butterfly.clips. Some pharmacies may even sell them. NSPs.usually also.stock.tourniquets. Alternatively, any half.decent.first-aid kit will contain one. Makeshift.tourniquets are an easy.thing to muster up.;
