B-D's verses Terumos

[Drveejay11]

Anyone who has used them BOTH have an argument for one verses the other???

[jack hust]

i have used em both term. seem to be sharper to me but it is in my head more than likley

[Dimensionx]

I like the Term's better as I feel that the BD's don't inject as smoothly, as in the plunger doesn't go as easy. Hell maybe it's just me:-).

The terumos allow for easier flow IMHO

But they seem to get duller than the bd's after you puncture a rubber septum, especially 2 or 3 of them!

The only thing I noticed is the plastic on the BD barrels are bit thicker. I couldnt tell a difference on sharpness. Although the needles seem a bit more flexible on the Terumos, which I dont know if thats a good thing.

I like the BD's because they're cheap, I get the 4 for a buck. They're both good but I like to save money.

I never noticed any difference, but don't pay so much attention to such details.
- I love this one, too funny, lol...

The flexibility could be a good thing, since you don't want one breaking off in ya. I would rather the pin give a little, instead of being so stinkin rigid.

Thats funny because I was thinking the exact opposite. In my head I didnt like them being so flexible because I imagine they are going to break off at the neck.

I dont use anything except 25g or insulin pins. I always think the insulin pin has broken off inside me when I move even slightly.

B&D seem to flow better for me and feel a little sharper.. Could just be all in my mind...

[bigjim33]

both work good enough for me

[painintheazz]

B&D for me.....

I have used both and I like B&D, some times I feel the Ter get stuck or really sticky and I have to pull back a little and then start pushing agian, don't really like doing this.

I like Terumos.
They're more flexible because the needle wall is thinner, which means more flow through the same gauge.
They seem sharper to me, too, but I agree that when reusing slin pins for gh or slin they seem to get duller faster, which makes sense when you think about it because the wall is thinner...

I think the terumo's feel sharper, they flow alot easier too.
