Tapered Tip Injector Cannula – Universal Luer Lock

Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories › Tapered Tip Single Central Hole Injector Cannulas › Tapered Tip Single Central Hole Injector Cannula – Universal Luer Lock

The Tapered Tip Single Central Hole Injector Cannula with Universal Luer Lock fitting is used to place fat in fat transfer and fat grafting. It is listed under Tapered Tip Single Central Hole Injector Cannulas, part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range.

Tapered Tip Single Central Hole Injector Cannula — Universal Luer Lock

Luer lock is a standard, but tolerances differ between brands, and a hub cut to the tight end of the band can seat poorly on some syringes. Under injection pressure a poor seat does not merely feel loose, it leaks graft at the hub. A universal hub is machined to sit centrally in that tolerance band so it locks properly across whatever syringe stock is on the shelf.

How the Tapered Tip and Central Opening Work Together

A closed nose that narrows to a point, with one central opening behind it. The taper handles getting into the recipient site; the single opening handles what is placed once there.

Recipient tissue is often the harder half of a fat transfer. A site that has been operated on, irradiated or grafted before is fibrous, and a fully domed injector stalls against it or skips out of the plane, which means the graft goes somewhere other than intended. A tapered nose parts that tissue without cutting it, so the cannula reaches the pocket the surgeon is aiming for.

The single central opening keeps placement small once inside. That pairing is the point: an instrument that enters difficult tissue easily should not also deposit quickly, or the surgeon gains access and loses control in the same movement.

The taper is closed, so it parts tissue rather than dividing it, but it is more assertive than a domed nose and warrants corresponding care in thin recipient sites.

How an Injector Cannula Places Fat

An injector cannula is the delivery end of a fat transfer. The syringe supplies the pressure, but where the graft ends up, and in what form, is decided by the cannula: its diameter, its opening, and the way the surgeon moves it.

Placement is done in retrograde. The cannula is advanced through the recipient plane, and fat is laid down as it is withdrawn, so the graft fills the tunnel the cannula has just made rather than being forced into tissue ahead of it. Each pass deposits a thread of fat. A result is built from many of those threads, crossed and layered, not from a few large boluses.

That is why the opening matters. Its size sets the diameter of the thread laid down; its position sets which way the fat is directed as the cannula withdraws; and its edge decides whether the parcel passes cleanly or is sheared at the exit. A wider opening places more per pass and fills faster; a smaller one places less and gives finer control in thin tissue where the graft can be seen through the skin.

Diameter and length work with it. A narrower cannula makes a smaller tunnel and allows finer layering, but it also raises injection pressure for the same fat, so the surgeon pushes harder. A longer shaft covers more of the recipient area from one entry point, which means fewer punctures. Matching all of this to the graft volume and the recipient site is the whole skill of the instrument choice.

Key Features

• ✔ Universal Luer lock hub seats correctly across grafting syringe brands
• ✔ Tapered closed nose parts fibrous recipient tissue without cutting it
• ✔ One central opening keeps placement small and predictable
• ✔ Reaches pockets a domed injector cannot enter cleanly
• ✔ Closed tip divides nothing on the way in

Specifications

Clinical Applications

• Grafting into previously operated or irradiated recipient sites
• Fibrous areas where a domed injector skips out of the plane
• Layered facial fat transfer with the 1.0mm to 2.0mm diameters
• Small deliberate corrections in difficult tissue

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 the opening with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. Check the taper as well as the opening edge at each cycle: a dented or flattened nose loses the entry advantage the profile exists for and cannot be corrected on a reusable instrument.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tapered single central hole injector cannula used for?

It is used to place fat in fibrous and previously operated recipient sites during fat transfer. The tapered closed nose parts tissue that would stall a domed injector, and the single central opening behind it lays a small controlled thread as the cannula withdraws.

What is the difference between a tapered tip and a blunt tip injector?

A blunt tip is fully domed and pushes tissue aside, which is forgiving but stalls in fibrous recipient sites. A tapered tip narrows to a nose and parts that tissue instead, so the cannula reaches the intended pocket. It is more assertive than a dome and warrants more care in thin tissue.

Is this cannula autoclavable?

Yes. The instrument is fully reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and opening with clean water immediately after use, before graft residue sets, and dry completely before sterilization.

Which fitting should I order?

All four fittings are Luer lock types. Standard Luer lock suits most grafting syringes; stainless steel Luer lock is for high sterilization throughput; Super Luer Lock has a larger bore for lower injection resistance; universal Luer lock seats across syringe brands where consumable stock varies.

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.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Samples are available on request and the buyer covers the shipping charges. Tell us the diameter and length you want to evaluate and we will confirm what can be sent. Testing a sample against the syringe brands you actually stock confirms the universal hub fits your supply.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Custom diameters, working lengths and opening configurations 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.
