porygons:bernardbumner:coocachew:I figured I’d make a post about this since I haven’t seen many online. Today I received my autoinjector in the mail. This is the AmbiMed Inject-Ease. It helps people who have needle phobia to get injections more easily. The device hides the needle (if it’s short enough, mine isn’t), alleviating stress caused by seeing the needle. It’s a very simple device, yet its practicality make it essential for people who have needle phobia. 1.) How the package looks. 2.) All of the parts. This includes: The injector; three removable end pieces in 0.30, 0.50 and 1.00 mL (cc) sizes, for different sized syringes; two spacer rings (1/8" and ¼" and clear plastic cover.3.) Spacer rings so you can see how big they are. 4.) The place where you insert the syringe, along with the locking T-bar that holds the syringe in place. Uncocked position. The device is designed for Becton-Dickinson syringes, but any similarly shaped ones will fit. Mine are McKesson and they fit just fine. 5.) Same as 4, in cocked position. This is the position you put the device in before injecting, and when you’re loading the syringe. 6.) The trigger button. Press this when the device is in the cocked position, and a spring will launch the injector down. This is how the needle enters your body. 7.) The device with a syringe in it. This is what it will look like when you put the syringe in and cock the device. Hopefully your needles are much shorter than mine; the device is designed for subcutaneous injections, which require a needle shorter than 5/8". Mine are 1". The end of the needle should not poke past the end of the device. If it does, use the spacer rings or a longer end piece. 8.) The device is cocked and my thumb is about to push the trigger button. 9.) The position of the needle after pushing the trigger. Pushing the trigger moves the needle into your skin. 10.) Demonstrating how to hold the device against your body to inject. And that’s all there is to it. I hope this helps some people, I know how bad needle phobia is. You can buy one of these online (Amazon, eBay, medical supply websites) for around $25. It should make it much easier for me to take my hormones, and for others to take their injectable medications.porygonsHoly shit sign me up -- source link
