Oral Syringes
My son has a g-tube and we get some syringes from the same people that deliver his pediasure, feeding bags etc - I think it's called his home health care company. I had to get a prescription from his doctor for us to get them from that company though. We also get syringes everytime we get any liquid meds filled at the local Walgreen's pharmacy - I have to ask for them and they always throw a few extra in the bag for us. The biggest ones they have are the 3ml ones though and they aren't the screw on ends that we like. I think the blue screw on ends are called Luer-Loks and the ones that have a pointed end built into them are the Catheter Tips.<p/>I have also been known to beg the nurses at the hospital for them when he is admitted and have also asked them to save his used ones (this is the point where the nurse looks at me like I'm nuts and goes and gets me a handful of wrapped syringes).<p/>My husband has found a unique use for the 60 ml syringes - he bleeds his brakes on the motorcycle with them.<p/>
