A 21G x 70mm MESO cannula is a specialized, long, and relatively thick, blunt-tipped aesthetic needle designed for precise, deep, and broad-coverage injectable treatments. It is used to minimize tissue damage, reduce bruising, and allow for the insertion of thick fillers or, in longer lengths, for body contouring.
Key Specifications & Features:
Gauge (21G): The 21-gauge indicates a relatively thick, rigid diameter, often used for thicker products like deep fillers or for greater structural support.
Length (70mm): A 70mm (roughly 2.75 inches) length allows for long, linear, or fan-shaped threading of fillers, reducing the need for multiple insertion points.
Blunt-Tip Design: Unlike sharp needles, the blunt tip reduces the risk of piercing blood vessels and nerves, significantly lowering bruising and swelling.
Side Opening/Port: A lateral opening on the side of the tip ensures the filler is delivered precisely and evenly, often indicated by a marker on the hub to show orientation.
Guide Needle: These are typically sold in a set with a slightly larger, sharper, shorter needle (e.g., a 20G or 21G sharp needle) to create the initial entry point in the skin.
Common Applications:
Dermal Fillers: Ideal for creating deep-plane volume in the cheeks, jawline, and chin.
Volumizing Procedures: Used for contouring and shaping facial areas.
Body Treatments: Due to their length, 70mm+ cannulas are often used for lipo-filling or subcision.
