http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringe_filter#Harm_reduction_in_recreational_drug_use
Injecting drugs into your veins/muscles is not exactly the safest thing you could do to your body. But the use of sterile materials, pure substances, and proper technique significantly cuts back on potential harm.
There are already vendors selling sterile syringes, which is great. However, there is a major lack of vendors selling syringe filters. These serve to remove (many) impurities from drugs prior to injection and greatly reduce the risk of abscesses, collapsed veins, and infection. Wheel filters are difficult to acquire for recreational use, I would greatly appreciate any vendors adding them to their merchandise.

I would like to know where I can buy some as well.

I would like to know the interest in this and for what price. I have access to sterile as well as nonsterile Luer-lok syringe filters of various pore sizes and diameters. As this is a very niche market, I prefer to do bulk quantities (not individual) and do not care if the buyer wishes to sell at an individual level to recoup their money.

They can be purchased in bulk for less than $1/each and resold for $2-5 a piece, possibly more. All things considered, the profit margin is decent. It's also a very minimal investment. I get that you prefer to do bulk deals but most recreational users don't buy medical equipment in bulk. It's entirely up to you, though. As Silk Road is a marketplace for responsible drug users, I think this item would be a good addition to the site and its vendors could make a good amount of money while providing a necessary service.

Duly noted. I get them for somewhat more than a dollar each, but I think I can make that price point work. And yes, while I would have very much liked to sell in quantity, I know that a single person is not going to need a lot of filters. I'll post a few up to gauge interest hopefully in a few days. I need to find an appropriate shipping container as the sterile packing for the filter prevents it from fitting in a mailer envelope. They will be 25 mm diameter with 0.2 um pores, although I may consider getting smaller 13 mm to reduce loss into the filter.
