For safety, purchase/use only syringes with Luer lock connectors as these secure the needle to the barrel better than Luer slip connectors and are far easier and safer for use.

Please do, I only found this thread because it was bumped. I'm REALLY glad I came across it, I've not been careful enough with "blunt" needles.
Feuille Senior Member ECF Veteran
Thank you for this. Jabbed my thumb quite hard with a blunt 18 gauge the other day. Shall try your advice for getting the cap on too, though I suspect I'll be getting a whole new syringe as the cap doesn't seem to be able to fit the needle at all.
