People are often surprised to learn there is a market for sterile syringes and needles, simply because the news media is so filled with stories of people who use them for illegal purposes. The legal use of needles and syringes far surpasses any wrongful use, however. Disposable sterile needles and syringes first came onto the market about fifty years ago; prior to that glass syringes and reusable needles had to be sterilized at home, a time consuming and laborious process.
Pharmacies, hospitals, health departments, doctors’ offices, veterinarians, agricultural supply houses … these are the types of places that usually have the greatest need to purchase syringes in bulk. Private purchases of syringes for sale do not equal the volume of sales made to say a hospital or health department, but the need to keep a large supply of syringes on hand is still a definite need for many persons.
Insulin dependent diabetics are perhaps the primary users of disposable syringes. They frequently purchase them in bulk so that they’ll always have a ready supply. Needing insulin only to discover you’ve run out of syringes can quickly turn into a health compromising situation, if not life threatening, and diabetics learn early on not to run out of either insulin or the means by which to administer it.
People who practice animal husbandry with their own animals are another group with a consistent need for needles and syringes. Many dog and horse breeders purchase their own vaccines from reputable supply houses and administer the shots that their dogs, cats, horses, etc. need themselves, thereby saving quite a bit of money that otherwise would have been spent on farm calls or visits to the veterinarian. They buy syringes for sale and have them ready when a horse needs vaccinations or a tetanus booster, when a litter of puppies needs its first set of vaccinations, or when their prized sheep appears to need a foot rot shot. Breeders can also boost the immune systems of their animals with vitamin B-12 injections, thereby boosting their immune system.
One of the best thing that any person can do who has to deal with a medication, whether for himself, for his spouse or children, or for his animals, is to make certain that he keeps a ready supply of syringes on hand so that he can anticipate the injection needs that those with whom he lives and cares for might need.
