[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1212795, member: 30007"] Your last paragraph is interesting points that are, for the vast majority, just not true. You bruise if you hit a blood vessel. You are equally likely to do this with a new or old needle. In 27 years I've not had an infection through reuse. And since 99% of the time you shouldn't be hitting blood vessels, you won't be blocking the needle with it. That's also why you do an air shot. It makes sure the needle is cleared Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
