Refillable injector pen

[lipzz17]

There's not really a brand there. I don't know that seller, but every cartridge I've bought from any seller has been the same. The indicators don't indicate that they are sterile, but they don't change color after I sterilize them in the instant pot, either. I always sterilize them myself to be sure.

I see, need to be with a instant pot ? And how much temp and time to sterilize ? You put with the rubber too?

Instant pot on high setting for 30 mins. Put two cups of water in the bottom. But then inside a sealed bag and a space so they aren't in the water.

You are actually meant to use an autoclave.

As for the brand. On Aliexpress the most reputable brand is KsTek.

How much does a hospital visit cost? You put the entire thing in a zip lock bag. Instant pots don't get hot enough to melt plastic or rubber.

Doesn't have to be an instant pot, but the instant pot has a convenient "sterilize" setting. I just put the sterilization bags that they come in into a steamer basket in the instant pot. (And of course put water in the bottom of the pot)

Anyone here already bought with this brand ?

I dont know if it is sterile

I bought from that vendor. Pack arrived yesterday. Can't speak to the accuracy of claimed sterility but everything looks good and works in the injector pen I bought.

I use Henan Dunyu on AliBaba for carts. Their cartridges previously tested sterile and last I bought it was $0.27 for steam sterilized cartridges (+shipping). Cleaning and steriling carts is too much of a hastle.

If you're worried about the cost of some cartridges for the sake of safety, I don't know what to say, cheapskate

I bet you think twice about how much of a "hassle" it is when you have some odd sickness that develops after potentially injecting crap from China.

The problem itself isn't the cartridges but the 100% import tax, so I'm thinking about long-term usage, if its possible to sterilize the cheapest one i think theres no problem

 

[tracct01]

The cartridges I have are individually packaged and sealed. On the back of the package, there is two color indicators. One says, "initial pink, turns yellow" with a designation "EO" which I assume means ethylene oxide (common sterilization method for medical use). This one is still pink. The other says, "initial blue, turns black" with designation "steam" and is black.

As I understand it, to sterilize via steam, the vials, stoppers, and rubber plug would have to be exposed to the steam and therefore cannot be sterilized in the assembled configuration.

Thoughts?

Well, you can do like the Bros do and just run that shit , not many people complaining about infections ,,,yet!! from non-sterile cartridges so I don't know, hope it works out for you

Also worth noting that those “sterilization bags” are fake, in that the colors won’t actually change when sterilized. You will need to buy new sterilization bags, remove the stoppers and place both the vial and stopper into the new bags to sterilize.

If you don't mind, can you please explain more about your experience with the indicators not changing with sterilizing? Did you have packaged cartridges with blue indicator that were supposed to turn black with steam(proposed situation as an example)? Or have you used ethylene oxide and the indicator didn't turn color?

As I said, multiple vendors have been 3rd party tested and these are the ones that have passed sterility testing. The indicators have also changed to black in the steam sterilization order. Dozens of people have also been using them for peptides and no one has reported changes in appearance or side effects.

Happy to see the retailer I choose on this list.

I bought 1000 of them, sterilised, individually packed, on alibaba. One year in - no problems so far. How do you think they ship prefilled injection pens, and cartridges? Just make sure they fit your pen. I found those cheap 1.5$ disposable pens fit perfectly. Reusable novo pens - wont fit. Buy few different models of pens first, try with the cartridge

Novo pens require 3d printed mods to work with generic cartridges. There are good options on AliExpress, one of them being the Eli Lilly Luxura. The ones on AliExpress are real ones but with minor cosmetic defects (sometimes not noticeable at all). To find them look up “humapen” on AliExpress and then sort by cheapest. It’s this burgundy colored pen.

Has anyone had experience with the Savvio humapen?
