How to subQ?

Guys, I couldn't get these tiny ampoules to open so I had no choice but to smash the top open and pour the product into a larger septa vial, should I be worried about glass shards getting into the needle?

Yes. I certainly would be.

There's a special filtered draw up needle that should be used for ampules. Especially ones that haven't been opened properly.

If you don't have one and can't get one. Micron filtering should work to. But frankly if you insist on using it I'd go with even the shittiest you can get before going unfiltered.

With opening ampules what you wanna do is snap them open while they're covered with some material that keeps the glass potentially cutting you. I think a lot of medical types use the insides of alcohol swab packets.

I have no doubt YouTube has videos of how to best open ampules.

But I definitely wouldn't wanna be shooting anything drawn up from an ampule that wasn't cleanly broken open that hasn't been filtered.
