Re: looking for TUBEX plastic blue injectors
HI jhittrn--Sooo, you are sitting on a stash of the rare and precious tubex injectors huh?! Wow--you need to hold on to at least two of them! Our hospital only provides those
crappy carpujects. I have (in the past
of course) had the bad habit of breaking top off of the carpuject and aspirating the med right out of the port with a needle and 3mL syringe (which is a CMS/JACHO/OSHA no-no for nurses).
If you are willing to part with two for $20, let me know. I currently have two of them--one I thought I had lost and the other was from a nurse who no longer did bedside care, so I have my stash as well. However, plastic does eventually break and I don't mind having a couple in reserve.
Just reply to the message if you are interested and thanks for the offer.
Sincerely--old ICU nurse!!
