Tool for syringe

Post by gijoejw »

So sometimes it’s really hard to push surgilube through a syringe and I only inject in my sac. Almost impossible by hand some times so, I created a quick tool to help with that. Used a calk gun and did a quick weld to a washer to hold the syringe in place. Works damn good. Just a word of caution. If you use something like this it will increase pressure as you inject. This is how I caused necrosis on my shaft skin. So if you do this…. BE CAREFUL. In the sac it’s got lots of room won’t have a problem unless you’re too shallow. But this works great, and forgive the lame welds, metal was fairly thin and the mig wasn’t happy welding on it.

Great job. They do have a commercial tool for syringes though.

They are used for lipo injections of fat. Can use any size syringe too.

Never knew you could get that! But I got $10 invested lol. Way better than not having the washer!

I too encountered necrosis with this method. I'd be very careful. If its too hard to push in i try a different spot. I have found using 3ml syringes and 21g needles works well for me. I just leave needle in and refill the syringe.

Check these out. I printed one myself but have not used it yet. But it turned out great and I think it will be perfect.

I use 20ml syringes. I never really had a problem pushing the plunger. If it's to hard to push I try a different spot like Jimjon said. And it usually goes in fairly easy. But ive been having issues with my hands the last few years, they cramp and lock up. Especially when I'm using constant force with them. So this things going to make it much easier for me I think. I'd probably still start manually to make sure everything feels right, then click this thing on to finish easily.
