SOFTFIL® PRECISION Micro-Cannula 25G/60mm Side Effects and Precautions
The use of the SOFTFIL® PRECISION Micro-Cannula helps reduce many of the side effects associated with needle injections. These micro-cannulas are known to decrease risks such as:
Bruising and swelling: The blunt tip is less likely to damage blood vessels, significantly lowering the chance of bruising.
Vascular occlusion: Clinical data indicates a much lower risk of vascular occlusion with micro-cannulas than with needles.
Discomfort: The micro-cannula requires fewer entry points, which reduces pain and increases patient comfort during and after the procedure.
Key Precautions:
Technique: Practitioners must be experienced in micro-cannula injection techniques to maximize safety and precision.
Filler compatibility: Ensure that the filler product is appropriate for use with a 25G cannula, particularly when injecting deeper areas.
SOFTFIL® PRECISION Micro-Cannula 25G/60mm Clinical Studies or Real-World Outcomes
Clinical studies have shown that micro-cannulas, including the 25G/60mm, have distinct advantages over traditional needles when it comes to filler injection safety and outcomes. A key study published in JAMA Dermatology found that:
77% safer than needles: Micro-cannulas significantly reduced the risk of serious complications, particularly vascular occlusion.
1 in 40,882 injections resulted in occlusion: This is compared to a rate of 1 in 6,410 with traditional needle injections, demonstrating the clear safety benefits of micro-cannulas.
These outcomes reflect the increasing preference for micro-cannulas in aesthetic procedures, due to their precision and reduced complication rates.
SOFTFIL® PRECISION Micro-Cannula 25G/60mm Drug Interactions
As the SOFTFIL® PRECISION Micro-Cannula is a delivery device rather than a pharmaceutical product, there are no direct drug interactions. However, practitioners should always consider potential interactions between the filler material being used and any medications the patient is taking, especially anticoagulants, as they can increase bleeding risk.
Key Considerations:
Filler choice: Ensure the filler is appropriate for use with the 25G/60mm cannula.
Patient medications: Review the patient’s medication history to prevent any adverse interactions with the injected fillers.
