 My favourite bone marrow biopsy needle for use in dogs has turned out to be the T-Lok Argon Medical code DBMNJ1104TL 11G 4”

&lt;p&gt;They&amp;#39;re not quite as dear as I remembered them (think last one came from VI...)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;so I&amp;#39;m happy just to get a spare as you suggest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My main objection to keeping a lot of these things is that I use them so rarely and the EO sterilisation often is out of date by the time one actually needs it if unfortunate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The last Jamshidi I tried to autoclave was a lot of years ago and it melted spectacularly - I hadn&amp;#39;t tried one again until this week and was pleasantly surprised :-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Re-using bone marrow biopsy needle - how many times?</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/217559?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Nov 2019 16:42:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:23973212-e429-4e9b-b457-b2c6e70d7f52</guid><dc:creator>Michael Woodhouse</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;My personal view with such things is make sure you have a brand new spare and see what happens. Some things don&amp;#39;t autoclave as well as you think they will until you come to re-use them. Otherwise keep going with it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
