Alternative to Relion Syringes

[geekgirldany]

I've been buying the Relion U100 syringes at Walmart but this past week they keep on saying they are out... going to get some in. Well they still haven't got them in and I will need some very soon.

Is the BD brand below similar? I want the half markings and I think this is them.

Basically, you want:
3/10 mL (aka cc) volume
Short or long needle, as you prefer
30-31 gauge (needle thickness)
Half unit markings

I bend long or thin needles so I get short 30 gauge to reduce the chances of that.

You can call ADW and ask them if you can't tell from the descrptions.

Yes, those have 1/2 unit markings. Those a short 5/16 and 31 gauge.
You may be able to find less expensive ones on that site too.
Here is one. Same length, gauge and 1/2 unit markings for $13.99

Actually I like the BD's much better than the Relion's BD are much more consistent in their marking lines and have much thinner lines which makes hitting those in between doses much much easier. They are a little more expensive but you are paying for quality.
