Thank you so much for the link. I have been searching for this syringe but couldn't find the higher division scale like the one in the link.
And yah I also thought about putting on tapes over the markings too. Good to know that its a regular practice haha

On ebay you can order these;

the pink tips should fit these syringes (referred to as a Leur slip tip).
Alternatively you can check your local pharmacist/vet to see if they have any ORAL syringes they can give you. They give them to parents who have to give babies/young children medication.
I put some clear tape over the numbers on my syringe (as per suggestions from other reefers) and it seems to hold up well to washing and cleaning.
these syringes were designed for one time use - not 50-100 use. I think salifert should provide an extra syringe with their kits or at least clear coat them so they last the life of the kit. It is what it is and the replacements only cost a couple bucks. Once you tape the numbers they should be good for a long time.
hope that helps. |
