Dermal filler cannulas \u2013 blunt tip microcannula with introducer needle

Description

Croma TSK STERiGLIDE Cannula 30G x 25mm (1\) is a sterile, single-use, blunt tip dermal filler microcannula designed for precise and comfortable injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) and non-HA dermal fillers. The cannula has a gauge of 30G with a length of 25 mm (1\) and is supplied with a matching 27G x 13 mm (0.5\) sharp introducer needle. STERiGLIDE cannulas are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel with a proprietary low-friction surface treatment and a patented dome-shaped tip, providing up to 50% better gliding through tissue, easier insertion, reduced penetration force and improved control of cannula direction for accurate placement of injectable products.

Bnefits

  • Provides up to 50% better gliding through tissue compared with traditional cannulas, thanks to a proprietary low-friction surface treatment.
  • Dome-shaped blunt tip design reduces insertion resistance and the risk of bruising by sliding through tissue planes instead of cutting vessels like sharp needles.
  • Blunt tip microcannula allows treatment of larger areas from a single entry point, potentially reducing the number of skin punctures and improving patient comfort.
  • Nearest-to-tip filler delivery design minimises dead space at the cannula end, enabling more accurate filler placement and reduced product waste.
  • Clear side-port marking on the hub indicates the orientation of the side opening, helping practitioners control filler exit direction for precise injections.
  • Optimised stiffness and flexibility balance: less flexible shaft improves directional control while still allowing the cannula to follow natural tissue planes.
  • TSK STERiGLIDE technology is widely regarded as a market "gold standard" for dermal filler cannulas and is available in a full range of gauges and lengths for different facial and body indications.

Indications

  • Injection and placement of hyaluronic acid (HA) and non-HA dermal fillers in the face and body using a blunt microcannula technique.
  • Aesthetic procedures such as volumising, contouring and smoothing of facial features (e.g. cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, perioral area, tear troughs, temples) as per local clinical protocols.
  • Mesotherapy-type and biostimulatory injections in the subcutaneous plane where blunt cannula delivery is preferred over multiple sharp needle punctures.
  • Use in combination with an introducer needle for controlled creation of a single entry point prior to cannula insertion.

Composition

  • Cannula shaft: high-quality stainless steel with a proprietary low-friction surface treatment.
  • Cannula design: blunt tip microcannula with patented dome-shaped tip and side port for filler delivery near the tip.
  • Gauge and length (cannula): 30G x 25 mm (0.3 x 25 mm).
  • Introducer needle: sharp needle 27G x 13 mm (0.4 x 13 mm / 27G x 0.5").
  • Hub: rigid polymer hub with clear side-port marking to indicate direction of the side opening.
  • Sterilisation: sterile, single-use medical device (typically ethylene oxide sterilised), supplied in sterile blister packaging.

Formulation

  • Sterile, single-use blunt tip dermal filler cannula with matching sharp introducer needle for medical aesthetic injections.
  • Designed specifically for use with injectable dermal fillers (HA and non-HA) and mesotherapy products in the subcutaneous and deep dermal layers.
  • Blunt tip and dome-shaped design optimised for tunnelling through tissue planes rather than cutting vessels and nerves as with traditional hypodermic needles.

Packaging

  • Box of 20 complete sets: 20 x STERiGLIDE cannulas (30G x 25 mm) plus 20 x sharp introducer needles (27G x 13 mm).
  • Each cannula–needle set is individually packaged in a sterile blister or pouch.
  • Labeling includes gauge, length, reference code (PRC-30025ISG), lot number, expiry date and manufacturer / distributor details.

Usage

  • Verify that the packaging is intact and within the expiry date before use; do not use if the sterile blister is damaged or opened.
  • Prepare the treatment area according to standard aseptic technique, disinfecting the skin and assessing anatomy, indication and injection plan.
  • Select the appropriate entry point and use the supplied 27G introducer needle to make a small puncture through the skin into the appropriate plane.
  • Attach the STERiGLIDE cannula securely to the syringe prefilled with dermal filler or mesotherapy product, ensuring a tight luer connection.
  • Insert the blunt cannula through the introducer needle puncture and advance it gently along the desired subdermal or subcutaneous plane, following tissue planes while avoiding excessive force.
  • Use the side-port marking on the hub to orient the cannula opening and deliver small aliquots of product while withdrawing or fanning the cannula, according to the chosen injection technique.
  • Monitor patient comfort and tissue response throughout the procedure; stop if the patient experiences unusual pain or resistance suggestive of intravascular placement and follow local safety protocols.
  • After completion, withdraw the cannula, apply gentle pressure if needed to minimise bruising, and massage the area in accordance with the filler manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Dispose of the used cannula and introducer needle immediately into an approved sharps container; STERiGLIDE cannulas are single-use devices and must not be re-sterilised or reused.

Contraindications

  • Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the injectable product being used; the cannula itself is generally inert stainless steel but use clinical judgement in patients with metal allergies.
  • Do not use at or near sites of active skin infection, inflammation, or compromised skin integrity.
  • Not intended for intravascular injection; extra caution is required in areas with complex vascular anatomy.
  • Do not reuse or re-sterilise; single-use only. Reuse increases risk of infection, mechanical failure and patient injury.
  • Use only by trained medical professionals experienced in cannula-based dermal filler injection techniques and familiar with facial anatomy.

Adverse Effects

  • Typical injection-related reactions such as transient erythema, swelling, tenderness and mild bruising at the entry or treatment sites.
  • Local haematoma formation or more pronounced bruising, particularly if small vessels are damaged during introducer needle puncture or cannula passage.
  • Pain or discomfort during insertion or injection if inadequate anaesthesia or poor technique is used.
  • Very rare but serious complications associated with dermal filler injections, such as vascular occlusion, skin necrosis or ocular complications, depend primarily on filler placement and anatomy rather than the cannula itself but must be considered and managed according to emergency protocols.
  • Risk of infection if aseptic technique is not followed or if the device is reused contrary to instructions.

Storage Conditions

  • Store in a clean, dry location at room temperature, away from excessive heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
  • Keep in original packaging until point of use to maintain sterility and ensure product identification.
  • Do not use after the expiry date indicated on the packaging.
  • Protect from mechanical damage or crushing of the sterile blisters.
