Slide dotting pens or markers

[lipomas]

Anyone have a good place (online) to get good dotting pens or markers? I like the pilot pen markers (they say SCA-UF ultra fine point permanent type) but the place I used to get them doesn't exist anymore. I found a site buz-line.com but I don't know whether to trust it.

Any thoughts? Or do people use other types of pens?

You can get them on Amazon

$6.22 for shipping on a $7 item? Yikes. Personally I have not had to ever buy one. They are always somehow available and I never really ask where they come from.

We had the same problem at our practice. Our secretary e-mailed ThinPrep and they sent us some for free, but right before she did so I found this. It looks like the same pens but it is hard to tell from the picture.

They look like them. You can enlarge the photo by clicking on it.

I wonder why they don't offer a box price. It would be kind of neat if they combined all 4 colors into 1 pen. I've always like those multicolor pens.

I've used ultra-fine tip sharpies with some success but they don't last as long as the PILOTs.

Serves me right, guess I should have checked if pilot pen actually HAD a website.

I have never really had much success with the non Pilot pens. The Thinprep ones are ok, who makes those? I don't have any now but they always seemed like they might be pilot pens.

Yeah, the ThinPrep pens are Pilots. I've run across websites that personalize those pens (of course the minimum order is around 100 pens). I imagine that's what ThinPrep does.
