While there are many ways to skin a cat, this is the most common equipment used for a typical glute injection. Equipment Needed For Your Gluteal Injectionīeginners may have many questions when it comes to glute injection supplies: What is the correct needle length? What is the right needle size? 1 or 1.5 inch? 23 or 25G or other?īelow is a list and diagram of the equipment and supplies you’ll need to administer your own injection. Personally, I usually rotate my injection sites and make use of deltoid injections and quad injections, but ventrogluteal injections make up the majority of my injections. It is also my number one go-to injection site for my TRT injections. It is for these very reasons that this is the most common injection site used by nurses and doctors for intramuscular injections, especially those administered for TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). Is is also one of the safest intramuscular injection sites, as it is away from any major blood vessels and nerves, including the sciatic nerve. The Ventrogluteal injection is the preferred glute injection site, as it is the least painful injection site. Why Ventrogluteal Injections Are Superior The injection is typically given in the upper outer quadrant of the glute. The dorsogluteal injection site is located on the gluteus maximus – the main part of your butt. The ventrogluteal injection site is located on the gluteus medius, which is located right at the top outer edge of the glute muscle, near the hip, waist and belt-line.
