How do you use a blunt tip cannula?
A needle is required to make an entry point for the cannula that just passes through the skin. The cannula is then used to pass through the entry point to the areas beneath the skin. The blunt-tipped cannula can re-enter the same entry point again without having to hurt the patient with another needle puncture.
What is a blunt cannula used for?
The use of a blunt injection micro- cannula allows a single entry point for each area rather than the several entry points that would be required with a sharp needle. It also decreases patient discomfort and the risk of damage to blood vessels or nerves.
What is the cannula technique?
With the cannula method, a small introducer needle is used to create an entry point for the cannula. The cannula is then inserted into the puncture site and maneuvered along the natural planes of skin tissue; this provides a large area to place the dermal filler through a single entry point.

How painful is a cannula?

Are cannulas safer than needles?
Conclusions: Cannulas, in all measured sizes except 27-gauge, required greater forces for intraarterial penetration compared with correspondingly sized needles, confirming the safety of 22- and 25-gauge cannulas; 27-gauge cannulas, however, required similar forces as 27-gauge needles, indicating that 27-gauge cannulas …
What im injections do you aspirate?
Preferred sites for IM injection: Aspiration is still advised when using the dorsogluteal muscle due to its proximity to the gluteal artery.

How is a cannula inserted into the skin?
As you are entering the skin, rotate the cannula tangentially to the skin surface using the flexibility of the microcannula. If any resistance is encountered, go back and forth without forcing. Start injecting while pulling the length of the microcannula in and out of the skin.
