Tumescent Bayonet Infiltration Cannulas – All Sizes and Fittings

A tumescent bayonet infiltration cannula is a blunt-tip infiltration cannula with a stepped offset in the shaft, used to deliver tumescent or wetting solution into the subcutaneous plane before liposuction and body contouring. The bayonet offset moves the hub and the surgeon's hand out of the line of sight to the entry site, so the skin can be watched while it fills. It belongs to the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range and is supplied in 11 hub and handle fittings and 84 diameter and length combinations, in bulk to distributors and hospital groups worldwide.

Surgeons also refer to these instruments as bayonet infiltrators, offset tumescent cannulas, angled infiltration cannulas, or bayonet wetting solution cannulas.

Offset Bayonet Cannulas in German Stainless Steel for Tumescent Infiltration

Tumescent infiltration decides how the rest of a liposuction case goes. Solution delivered evenly gives hemostasis, hydrodissection of the plane and anesthetic distribution across the treatment area. Doing that well means watching the skin as it fills, and on a straight cannula the surgeon's own hand sits in the way. The bayonet shape exists to remove that obstruction.

What the Bayonet Shape Does

A bayonet cannula has a stepped offset bend in the shaft between the hub and the working section. The offset moves the hub, the handle and the surgeon's hand sideways, out of the straight line running back from the entry site. That single change in geometry solves two problems at once.

First, sight lines. With a straight cannula the hand sits directly behind the entry point and blocks the view of the skin being filled. With the offset, the hand is out of that line and the surgeon can watch the entry site and the tissue turgor while infiltrating.

Second, angle of approach. The offset lets the working section be held closer to parallel with the skin while the hub stays clear of the body surface. The cannula stays in the subcutaneous plane instead of angling down into deeper tissue, which is exactly what an infiltration pass needs. The same clearance helps when working under a retracted flap or in a confined area where a straight hub would foul the surrounding tissue.

The distal tip is closed and rounded. It separates the subcutaneous plane by blunt dissection as the cannula advances, pushing vessels and nerves aside rather than dividing them, and side holes along the working section release the solution along the length of the pass rather than at one point.

Clinical Applications

• Tumescent infiltration before body liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, back and thighs
• Wetting solution delivery before power-assisted and syringe liposuction
• Arm, neck and submental infiltration with the shorter, smaller-diameter sizes
• Infiltration under a retracted flap or in confined areas where a straight hub would foul

Material and Sterilization

The cannula is made from German stainless steel with a passivated surface that resists corrosion and pitting through repeated cleaning cycles. It is reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and every side hole with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. On a bayonet cannula, pay attention to the offset bend during cleaning: any bend in a lumen is where residue settles first, so flush from both ends until the water runs clear.

How to Choose

Diameter sets the flow rate and length sets the reach. For large body areas such as the abdomen, flanks and thighs, the 2.5mm to 4.0mm diameters in 25cm to 35cm are the usual working range, because they fill a large area in fewer passes. The 1.8mm to 2.5mm range in 15cm to 25cm suits arms, the neck and smaller regions. The 1.0mm to 1.5mm diameters in 5cm to 12cm are for facial and submental infiltration, where thin tissue needs a small-diameter cannula. Match the fitting to the syringe, pump or handpiece already in your theater.

Why Buy Direct From the Manufacturer

Manufactured by Healermed Instruments, a surgical instruments manufacturer and exporter based in Sialkot, Pakistan. Factory-direct pricing removes the importer and distributor layer. Production runs under an ISO 13485 and FDA CGMP quality system, with ISO 9001 and CE Mark certification. OEM manufacturing and custom branding are available for distributor and brand-owner orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bayonet infiltration cannula used for?

It is used to deliver tumescent or wetting solution into the subcutaneous plane before liposuction and body contouring. The stepped offset in the shaft keeps the hub and the surgeon's hand out of the sight line to the entry site, so the skin can be watched as it fills and the working section stays closer to parallel with the surface.

What is the difference between a bayonet cannula and a straight cannula?

A bayonet cannula has a stepped offset in the shaft; a straight cannula does not. The offset moves the hub and the surgeon's hand out of the line of sight to the entry site, and lets the working section stay closer to parallel with the skin. A straight cannula is simpler to clean and store, but the hand blocks the view.

Is this cannula autoclavable?

Yes. The instrument is fully reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and every side hole with clean water immediately after use, remove all residue before sterilization, and dry completely. Flush from both ends so nothing is left sitting in the offset bend, where residue collects first.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk orders?

The minimum order quantity is agreed per order rather than set at a fixed number. Send us the sizes, fittings and quantities you need through the wholesale request page and we will confirm the minimum for that specification. This lets a small distributor start with a trial order and a larger importer scale up on the same terms.

Which size should I use for body infiltration?

For large body areas such as the abdomen, flanks and thighs, diameters of 2.5mm to 4.0mm in 25cm to 35cm lengths are the usual working range, because they fill a large area in fewer passes. Arms, neck and smaller regions suit 1.8mm to 2.5mm in 15cm to 25cm. Facial and submental infiltration uses 1.0mm to 1.5mm in 5cm to 12cm.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Samples are available on request and the buyer covers the shipping charges. Tell us the diameter, length and fitting you want to evaluate and we will confirm what can be sent. Testing a sample before a bulk order is the fastest way to check the offset geometry in the hand, hole finish, and hub fit against your own equipment.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Custom diameters, working lengths, and hole patterns are available on request in addition to the standard size grid. Send your specification through the wholesale request page and our production team will confirm what can be produced. Custom branding is also available for distributor and OEM orders.
