<p>I also use hypodermic needles (which I acquired from a nurse former friend) but I don&#39;t find that the Protek affects the plunger in mine. I&#39;ve been using the same one for years - three, at least.</p>
<p>I didn&#39;t mention it earlier because mine don&#39;t hold Wim&#39;s specified minimum.</p>
