Published in Injection Safety 1 min read

The safest injection sites are the arms, first the upper arms and then the lower arms.

According to the provided reference (ARMS), when injecting into the veins of the forearms, it's important to properly secure any "rolling" veins before injecting. This helps prevent complications and ensures a more successful and safer injection.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Arms (Upper and Lower): The arms are considered a relatively safe option.
  • Forearm Considerations: When using forearm veins, take extra care to stabilize "rolling" veins.
