Hi Wendy,
Fred get subqs daily (CRF), I use the terumo 20 x 1" gauge UTW
(ultra thin wall). He doesn't mind them too much and they are a lot
smaller than the 18 gauge which Fred objected to very loudly and with
teeth!!
I have noticed on occasion I would have a very hard time getting them in
and found that sometimes they have a little teenye, tiny bump, almost
imperceptable but enough to make them not go in, so now I check each one
before I use it. I just take my finger nail and scrape up from the
bottom of the hole (on th beveled side) to the tip, BUT I do it on the
unbeveled side. That little bump when it's there can really make it
impossible to get it in, other wise they are nice, Fred DOES NOT like
the monoject brand of the same size and they are a bit bigger and seems
like not quite as sharp.
PS. It does take a little longer but with Fred he doesn't mind once we
start, it's the poke he doesn't like so much and the smaller the needle
the better!!
