Answers:
1/2 ml would leave 1/2 ml if the needle is long enough, but, 3ml is better!. Also the bigger the syringe, the less force of the injection!.

You cannot use a 1 ml because you will not be able to aspirate enough to check your placement!. Sorry!. You have to think about all aspects of the injection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
