Syringes (old post)

Hello,

My name is Mami, I live in Japan. It has been a long time since I last posted...
My 21 yrs old Akane and I would be grateful if you could help us choosing syringes.

Let me explain a bit. I have been using Monoject syringes (31G, 3/100 with half unit markings, 8mm) which I import from Diabetic Promotions in US. I like Monoject syringe because its markings are clearly printed and easy to see/read, and its top of the plunger(a black rubber part) has a pretty flat surface? so it helps me to measure a tiny dose for Akane. And it does not have a "brim" like BD's has so I can hold my plastic measure closely alongside the syringe body.


Left - BD, Right - Monoject


But with my recent order, Diabetic Promotions made a mistake in the shipping address and because of that, the item cannot get through custom clearance. There have been frustrating correspondences with the shop for about a month and the problem still has not been solved and I am running out of the stock..

So I tried to purchase from different sellers and I tried to search but unfortunately no shops have the same Monoject..

So I came here to ask for your help. I am thinking to purchase from Total Diabetes Supply and I want to find syringes that are equally good in measuring a tiny dose among the products they carry.

I would be happy if you could share your experience of using syringes together with information such as ; Is the markings are clearly printed and easy to see? What about bubbles/air? Is the top to the plunger (rubber part) flat? Does it have a "brim"? etc..

If you could upload a photo of close look at a syringe, too, it would be great..!


Here is links for syringes they carry. This is for 3/100cc, 31G

Thank you very much in advance!

Have you checked Adwdiabetes.com?

 

Hi
Thank you for your reply. Yes, but they do not ship to Japan..

 

I'm not sure of the answer to your question.

Have you checked if you can get them through Amazon?

 

Thank you.
Only a few shops ship to Japan because syringe cannot import without a necessary procedure and custom clearance.

 

I personally prefer bd syringes.... That's what I always get.

 

I created another thread. Thank you for your replies !
