Angled Tumescent Cannula – Stainless Steel Luer Lock

The Angled Tumescent Infiltration Cannula with Stainless Steel Luer Lock is a blunt-tip cannula with a bent working shaft, used to deliver tumescent or wetting solution before liposuction. The hub is machined from solid stainless steel rather than a softer alloy, so the thread survives high-volume autoclave and cleaning cycles without wearing or discoloring. See the full Angled Tumescent Infiltration Cannulas range for other fittings.

This instrument is also known as a steel hub angled infiltrator, an all-metal Luer lock bent cannula, or a tumescent anesthesia cannula.

All-Steel Luer Lock Hub on an Angled Infiltration Cannula

Hub material decides how long a reusable cannula stays usable. Anodized aluminum hubs are lighter and cheaper, but the anodized layer can fade and the thread can gall after repeated steam cycles. A solid stainless steel hub keeps its thread form and finish far longer, which matters in a center running several cases a day through the same tray.

What the Angle Does

An angled cannula has a bend in the shaft, so the working section travels at an angle to the hub axis instead of running straight back from it. That changes the direction of the pass itself, which is the difference between an angled cannula and a bayonet one: a bayonet steps the shaft sideways and then runs parallel again, while an angle redirects where the tip actually goes.

The practical gain is reach. The body is curved, and a straight cannula entering a flank, hip or submental area has to be forced to an awkward wrist position to stay in the subcutaneous plane as the surface falls away. An angled shaft follows that curve instead of fighting it, so a single entry port covers more area and the surgeon's wrist stays in a neutral position through the pass.

The second gain is clearance at the skin. Because the hub sits at an angle rather than flat against the surface, the syringe or handpiece is held up and away from the area being filled. The surgeon is not pressing on tissue that is in the middle of taking up solution, which makes it easier to read turgor as the endpoint approaches.

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.

Key Features

• ✔ Solid stainless steel Luer lock hub — no anodized coating to wear off
• ✔ Built for repeat sterilization in high-throughput theaters
• ✔ Angled shaft follows a curved body surface instead of fighting it
• ✔ Wider coverage from one entry port with the wrist in a neutral position
• ✔ Hub sits up and away from the skin, so the hand does not press on filling tissue
• ✔ Closed blunt tip separates the plane without cutting vessels or nerves
• ✔ Side holes along the working section spread solution along the pass
• ✔ One-piece German stainless steel shaft, fully reusable

Specifications

Clinical Applications

• Tumescent infiltration of curved areas — flanks, hips, outer thighs
• Submental and neck infiltration where the surface falls away sharply
• Wetting solution delivery before power-assisted and syringe liposuction
• Covering a wide field from a small number of entry ports

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 an angled cannula, flush from both ends: any bend in a lumen is where residue settles first, and a partly blocked shaft changes how the solution distributes on the next case.

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, where the angle earns the most because the surface curves sharply. The 1.0mm to 1.5mm diameters in 5cm to 12cm are for facial and submental infiltration. 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 stainless steel Luer lock angled cannula used for?

It is used to deliver tumescent or wetting solution into subcutaneous tissue before liposuction, with a solid steel hub that connects to standard Luer lock syringes and pump tubing. It is chosen where instruments are sterilized many times a day and hub durability matters as much as shaft quality.

What is the difference between an angled cannula and a straight cannula?

An angled cannula has a bend in the shaft, so the working section travels at an angle to the hub; a straight cannula runs in one line. The angle lets the cannula follow a curved body surface and stay in the subcutaneous plane without the surgeon twisting the wrist. A straight cannula is simpler to clean and store.

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 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.

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. A sample also lets you run the steel hub and the bend through your own sterilization protocol first.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Custom diameters, working lengths, bend angles 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.
