The directions clearly say "remove and discard ShotBlock" after each use!! Is that true? A new one for each injection??

I run them through the dishwasher. We have one "assigned" to each kids and thenwash after each use. Put them in a ziploc bag with the kids name written on the bag and then re-use. We started using our first this past Spring for allergy shots three times a week. We would still have the same one if it had not been lost.

We love our Shotblocker! You just need to wash it with warm water and soap and you can use it over and over.

sorry for delayed answerI cannot see why you would discardThey are sturdy and washable.we re-use.

My direction number 5. states the following: 5. After you have completed the injection and withdrawn the needle, remove and clean ShotBlocker with soap and water. Then place back in sealable bag with instructions for next use.

This was the best thing I ever bought and we have reused ours. It's sturdy and can be washed after use.

No my instructions say "after shot remove and clean with soap and water". Thisworks great with allergy shots when used after putting ice pack on area. Pay attention to squeezing just before injection.

I don't think so. My Dr reused the same one. It just sits on your arm so I don't see why you would need to the instructions on mine say clean and put back in bag

No--it's a plastic piece that presses against the skin, dulling the senses. You can keep just one Shotblocker forever! I'm wondering if it means the doctors office should discard it and use a new one for each patient? Good luck, this worked great for my daughters! Ages 2 and 6.

Oh my I didn't even read any instructions but NO it will be good to use for yrs. I just keep mine in our diaper bag so I never forget it.

hi i have to agree with vid pro. i do not believe you have ruined it at all. i would get the gun hot again and push more sticks of glue through too. even if you used mini sticks keep pushing thru even if you used a wooden skewer to help push it thru [ never use metal,] only a wood skewer, just to push it as soon as you see the glue come through, try to get all the glue mini sticks out that way.might as well get the right sized glue sticks cos this will be a repeat of the same ole problem you are having now if you don't. the best thing is just use the right size sticks to push out the mini sticks of glue out, then you can bypass wood skewer. that is what i would do. you should really use the mini glue sticks for a smaller gun cos the chamber is made for the mini sticks that is why it is difficult to get the glue flow out with this gun. rest assured i use this glue gun profesionally i own 2 i love this gun. this gun is HOT please make sure to have ice water near you can dunk a finger in, helps to cool the glue so the burn isn't so bad. live and learn please be careful. enjoy that gun hope this helps pammypurple

Insert one end of red stick in end of white tube and twist to withdraw white tube. Discard.Place new white tube which is at end of red stick in place of former white tube. Press,twist, leaving new white tube in place. Hope this helps.

If you mean does it shut off at the end of the shot then no you have to press the button again to stop it. I do like this way because you can make the shot as strong or as weak as you like it. If, however, you mean does it shut off completely after a period of not being used, then yes it does.

I purchased after having used it in the doctor's office. It is medical equipment in essence, so that is why I suspect there are no instructions. I use a 1 to 3 ratio of hydrogen peroxide to water -- a little warmer than room temperature. You have to screw the flexible tip with guard on the end of the device. After that just direct with care into the ear canal and fire away. I don't use the capture dish. I just stand over the sink and let the fluid drain out. As you irrigate the ear, you need to redirect the tip to make sure the whole ear canal is cleared. Sometimes, it seems nothing is happening and then a slightly different angle gets the material cleared out. The hydrogen peroxide bubbles for a while in your ear afterward.

You only get one shot per cartridge. Then remove cartridge. Apply nozzle. Shake vigorously before each use thereafter. Keep cold but not frozen. Hope this helps.

The short answer would be to ask the manufacture. Though I suspect that they will say "no." After their use most field expedient medical items are disposed of. Could you refill the plunger? Probably, but I wouldn't, the design doesn't lend to reuse (if it did, the manufacture would indicate it). There are too many negatives trying to reuse a medical product, which was designed as a one-shot deal.

No. You place the "lazer bullet" into the opened port. Then rack the slide with each shot. The bullet stays in place until done. To remove use a pencil or similar. Lots of fun and helps accuracy .

Yes, I took the bottom off with my nail file, then pushed the underneath pusher up to dispense the rest of the cream that actually wouldn't come out of the pump, saved into a clean plastic jar with a lid. I've been using this product for 16 yrs and never had to remove the bottom, always had a perfect dose dispensed every time, but there is always a first time!

Idealy you want to take it off same day, I would say I get about 70 shots with a fresh cartridge.. They are super cheap if you buy a 40 pack at Walmart

Hello Collin, Thanks for prompting us to update the description on the Amazon site. We rewrote and just posted more detailed instructions on efficient, practical, and expert use of the BATCLIP holster. You may be interested to hear that many of our resident users developed individual styles of holstering and unholstering their stethoscopes. Some were quite elegant, others a bit wild. Most used a variation of the same technique and for a while new users would come down to the e.r. when I was working for a personal lesson and a "license to wear." Please have a look at our updated Amazon description and let me know what you think. If you decide to make a video (how's that to turn it around?) we'd be happy to send you another BATCLIP (or shears) for your trouble. James Li MD (the inventor)

You can use this yourself. It just needs to be held firmly in place by the hand you aren't using to give the shot.

We got distilled water, wiped it down with the distilled water, not a soaked wipe down, a lite wipe down. Then fill the shot glass with distilled water, sit for 24 hours without opening it. Then another wipe down with the distilled water just like the first time, then wet the humidifier that comes with it and load your items. i have to refill the humidifier every other day because I live in Tucson and everything drys out here.

Hi Nibor,I do not remember that I had to do any thing to spray the liquid. If it is push and twist, then try pushing the trigger down and twsting it right or left. If not. Remove the trigger from the bottle. Get a pipe cleaner and clean out the tube under the trigger and try again. If that does not work. Send it back. I am sure that Amazon will honor a defective product. These things do happen. But trust me when I say the product works great. I tip also....always use a clean microfiber cloth. One you have used your cloth 2-3 times it must be clean or you will see scratches from the dirt on the cloth. Have a great day.

I would return it for a replacement if you have any concerns with the product. Mine was stuck for a moment at the "zero" mark, but using it for a while eventually got it to "unstick". I don't think my situation was the same as yours though, because I think my issue was simply the needle just not responding. I have heard of the needle getting stuck. Google a solution, or return for a replacement. Hope that helps.

I had to have someone show me in the beginning too. The top actually comes out and you screw the applicator on. In order to get the top off I have to wiggle it back and forth so the top will separate from the bottle. Then you simply keep turning it until it comes off. It is not screwed in, it just fits really tight. Once you do it the first time you will never have trouble again.

Seems odd that you would get that many duds in a row unless there was just a bad batch shipped to that store. I love mine and have had no issues with it. I can only think of a couple questions... 1. Are you pressing the tip of the gun down firmly enough so that the safety mechanism is deactivated? 2. When you slide the stopper up and put the nails in do you release the stopper and slide it back down to hold the nails?
