First of all, sorry for making a new thread, I don't know how to find that IM thread. Anyway, I just purchased twenty-five 10cc luer-lock syringes (so when I prepare my vials, I only need to push everything through the micron wheel filter ONCE and discard the filter right away,) and twenty-five 25g, 1" needles. Now, whenever I IM ketamine (no more than once a week,) I take a 200mg shot and it's enough to take me to the wonderful k-hole. My vials are concentrated at 100mg/mL, 10mL (1,000mg of K) per vial.
Since my syringe & needle supply is limited (supply isn't the real issue, I can always buy more, my biggest concern is IMing too much liquid & ketamine into a SINGLE site,) I was wondering everybody's thoughts reusing my syringe and needle as follows:
1) Draw up 2mL into a single syringe/needle combo.
2) IM 1mL into left leg quad, remove needle from leg.
3) Unsure if this step is necessary, but wipe down the needle with ISO alcohol.
4) IM remaining 1mL into right leg quad.
Since it's all being done within seconds, I can't see bacteria being formed on the needle. The only downside I can see to this is the needle getting slightly dull due to the injection into the rubber stopper to draw up the 2mL and the injection into my quad, so by the time I get to my 2nd quad, it'll be slightly more dull.
Thoughts?
