Saline supplies in the US

Post by wickedtwisted1 »

Hi everyone, I'm looking to do saline for the first time and I'm just wondering were all the US guys get their supplies from. I'm an avid pumper and lately I've been getting stuck in my stj after about an hour lol. So I figure it's time.

Mountainsidemedical.com is the cheapest and fastest delivery too. Other is Atlantic, but they are pricey or out of stock alot. My bets on the former than the latter.

PowerfulPete is Powerful right. Mountainside Medical is now the place with stock. I have two cases on the way (mRuss, Ellery, that should keep us busy for New Years Eve.)

I was able to find most supplies on Mountainside, but had to go to Atlantic for butterfly needles since Mountainside didn't have them. Anyone else having that problem?
I've been a member of the boards for over 10 years and I'm going to try my first infusion next week.

I want to try in January but I'm concerned about supplies, it appears that mountainside only have 250 cc bags, no biggie, just buy a few, but it seems that they ask for Dr's script, what's your experience with that? I heard that this is common in NY, I'll be getting them shipped to NJ

Considering that distilled water can make you sick when you drink it, I doubt its a good idea to infuse with it.

No!!!! Distilled water isn't sterile and its not the right composition to inject into your body. Don't do it!!

Even steril distilled water can be dangerous to inject. It dilutes your electrolytes.
