Kanüülli

Kanüülli is a term of Estonian origin that generally refers to something that has a cannula. A cannula is a tube that can be inserted into the body, often for the withdrawal of fluid or the administration of medication. Therefore, "kanüülli" can describe a medical device, a piece of equipment, or even a procedure that involves the use of a cannula.

In a medical context, "kanüülli" might be used to describe a syringe with a cannula attached, an IV line that includes a cannula, or a surgical instrument designed for insertion via a cannula. The specific meaning would depend on the surrounding context. For instance, a "kanüülli süstal" would refer to a syringe equipped with a cannula, likely for a specific type of injection or aspiration. Similarly, a "kanüülli operatsioon" could imply a surgical technique performed through a cannula, often referred to as minimally invasive surgery.

Beyond direct medical applications, the term could also be used more broadly to describe any situation where a hollow tube is used to access or channel something. However, its most common and precise usage is within the field of medicine and healthcare, relating to the insertion and use of cannulas for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The Estonian language utilizes the "-li" suffix to indicate possession or association, hence "kanüülli" signifies "having a cannula" or "related to a cannula."
