Our premium selection of infiltration cannulas is engineered to deliver precise, efficient, and uniform distribution of tumescent fluid during liposuction and cosmetic surgical procedures. Designed for maximum patient safety and surgeon comfort, these cannulas feature optimized hole configurations—including Klein, multi-hole, and spiral patterns—to ensure smooth fluid infiltration with minimal tissue trauma.
Whether you require reusable stainless steel instruments or sterile single-use disposable options, our surgical cannulas offer the structural integrity and fluid flow dynamics necessary for optimal clinical outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Infiltration Cannulas
What is an infiltration cannula used for?
An infiltration cannula is a specialized medical instrument used primarily in liposuction and body contouring procedures to inject tumescent local anesthesia fluid into subcutaneous fat layers. This process helps numb the area, constrict blood vessels to reduce bleeding, and break down fat cells before aspiration.
What are the most common infiltration cannula tip configurations?
The most common configurations include the Klein pattern (featuring multiple small holes around the distal tip for uniform 360-degree fluid distribution), the Spike pattern, and custom multi-hole designs. Choosing the right tip depends on the target body area, fat density, and surgeon preference.
What are the typical gauges and lengths for tumescent cannulas?
Infiltration cannulas typically range in size from 12 gauge to 16 gauge for standard infiltration, with smaller 18G to 25G cannulas used for delicate facial areas. Standard lengths vary from 15 cm to 35 cm, allowing surgeons to comfortably reach different tissue depths through small incisions.
Should I choose reusable stainless steel or disposable infiltration cannulas?
Reusable medical-grade stainless steel cannulas offer durability and long-term cost-efficiency for high-volume practices but require strict autoclaving and sterilization. Disposable infiltration cannulas guarantee 100% sterility out of the box, eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, and save processing time for surgical staff.
