Reusing drawing needles
Are there any concerns reusing drawing needles?

Dulling of the needle can put holes in the rubber stoppers which can lead obvious sterility issues. Reusing once or twice probably wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I'd advice against relying on it. Pins are cheap and they come in the same quantities, always good to have extras on hand

I wouldn't for anything I was injecting from. Pins are to cheap to reuse.

Brother pins are so cheap my friend , don't risk your health over an old pin. Is it worth it bro?

Thanks for the fast response brothers. I've never done it but have always wondered. Now I won't even think about it.

Not to mention you are risking infection

Box of a 100 from allegro medical for less than 20 bucks, then spare tips for less than 10, I change out the tip anytime it touches anything, bottle top, skin etc. worth the money
The only true failure is quitting, any other attempt is practice!

I'm on board with everything everyone said. Needles are too cheap to skimp out on. Besides...the cost and BS of dealing with an infection would make you wish you just bought new pins.

Don't do it ! look on ebay or online no reason to sharpen needles on match book strikers or anything like that, lol I think the last thing you want is a really nasty infection.peace
