Awesome bottle, but how do I get one??
Edit: Should have been created in reagent and apparatus acquisition, sorry!
Hey all, good afternoon.
I have gone to a foot doctor for a few things the past few years, and there's been a bottle of Ethyl Chloride that's used for numbing by evaporative
cooling.
It looks like this: http://cdn.shopmedvet.com/images/large/RXETHYL-FINE.jpg
I want it, but can't find it anywhere besides what it's sold as. Ethyl Chloride by Gebauer.
Is there anywhere else I can find this? Is this type of bottle sold under a specific name? I'm not as interested in the contents as I am the bottle
itself. Help, pls?

And several other interesting spray dispensers too.

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Such bottles are used for a physical therapy technique called "Spray and Stretch". Freons used to be materials employed. Alas, I think no more.
Those Freons were either outlawed or rendered prescription. I have a few such bottles laying around the house, but couldn't in the current legal
climate, transfer them. They are still charged with coolant. And, while in the old days, I could buy and own them, without being an MD., that
might not be the case now. Says "Prescription Only" on the bottle, but once upon a time....that really just meant legitimate use. Now? Who
knows?
Ask your foot doctor to save you an empty. It could happen.
PS....I checked. Here is a link to current sale guidelines.
