Sterile unopened needles

[EF9kid]

I would like to ask you guys advice/opinion…

I have a hole bunch unopened needles that expire next month. Should I use or not?

Never USED!! New in wrap

 

[Poppy]

Yep! I would in a skinny minute.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Needles don’t expire haha

 

[Rusty]

They only expire so you have a reason to buy more from the manufacturer

 

[EF9kid]

It does have an expiration date tho!

 

[EF9kid]

I hear you.

Liability and as rusty said makes peol go well I guess I got to buy more

 

[Poppy]

Hospitals honor those and toss em.

Why there’s exp dates on them I don’t know. I’m sure there’s a perfectly unreasonable explanation.

 

[EF9kid]

Good point

It’s a joint commission thing I’m pretty sure. Our unsterile plain ole water that sealed has an expiration. Electronics have an “expiration” even when they have to be rechecked by biomed.

 

[JLee]

Wasn’t even aware they “expired”. I wouldn’t toss them

 

[Ominous]

Definitely I would use.

 

[EF9kid]

I will show you guys later so you guys can see.

I would use them. The expiration is probably related to the longevity of the rubber in the product and the seals on the packaging.
