My wife works as an RN for a hospital(US). She says they are required to use a filter when drawing from an ample to keep any glass out. Just another data point.

I’m sure it is a best practice for a good reason. For me, by the time you buy the drug, then the filters, extra syringes and vials to transfer, you could have just gone to a clinic and paid for the shot. Everyone has their own risk tolerance and I respect that. Theoretically, any glass particles would either sink to the bottom of the liquid (I never get it all out) or be too large for a 27g - 31g needle, so it’s worth the risk to me.
In my mind, the filter process also adds a lot more touches and potential for contamination.

It was over my WhatsApp... from ZLZ... I've not bought from them though I have read a bunch about them.

They use filter needles, basically the filter is built-in, you don't see it
How would it filter in both flow directions? Wouldn’t they need to change the needle?
The integrated-filter needle is used to draw, then replaced with a regular needle for injecting
Can you get them in small gauges? This has me intrigued. I’m not seeing anything in the usual places.
It's not my field, but they're called "blunt filter needles" and seem to all be 18 gauge ... but then you can swap it out for a high-gauge regular needle
I have watched some videos and read a little. I’m still willing to take my chances. Thank you for the information!
