Old needles

Recruit

New member
I have some needles that are about 2yrs. old...

They have been in the attic, subject to hot and cold. They don't expire for 3 more months. Will it be safe to use them or should I get new ones?
 
i dont know what your payin but where i live they are like 60 cent for barrel and needle
surely you will drive past a chemist tomorrow? id get new ones just for piece of mind

Attic or warehouse shelf ... all the same.

What matters is being sterile.
Are they?
They are still in the package...and yes, they are sterile...

They do have an expiration date but it's in sept.

You are good to go.

One minor problem I could see is that the prolonged temperature abuse may render the rubber in the plunger stiff and cause it not give good suction.

Can't they become contaminated if they are thrown around in an attic for instance? They get moved from box to box and small holes may develop in the packaging...

I think it's a bad assumption to assume they are sterile just because they are still packaged. What if the packaging is compromised?

I would throw them away
 
If they where sealed I would not see a problem with useing them, but considering how cheap you can get them for why not just buy some new ones

I agree with this ^ 1000% percent! its not worth the risk!
 
I seem to hear about guys having probs getting pins where they live. It's not legal to ship them to every state and not everyone is willing to risk getting busted trying. So I can kinda see why someone might be tempted to use the ones he has had laying around awhile. For me, this one's a no brainer. I'd get new ones. But shipping/selling syringes otc is legal in my state.

i can guarantee you the packaging used to protect hypdermic needles is tough enough to handle box transer.....i seriously doubt that its cheap enough packaging that holes will form in it that would allow bacteria in it and compromise the injection sterility......i mean thats what that exp date is there for wouldn't you think........im sure all of that is thought about before the needles are packaged and an exp date is placed on

i'd use them for sure
