Kanülensysteme

Kanülensysteme, often translated as cannula systems, are integrated medical devices designed for the introduction and withdrawal of fluids or gases into or from the body. These systems typically consist of a sharp, hollow needle (the cannula) that pierces the skin and a hub that allows for connection to syringes, infusion sets, or other medical equipment. The primary function of a kanülensystem is to provide a safe and sterile pathway for administering medications, collecting biological samples, or draining fluids.

The design of kanülensysteme varies widely depending on their intended use. Factors such as cannula length, gauge (diameter), material, and tip shape are crucial for patient comfort and procedural effectiveness. Common applications include intravenous (IV) cannulas for fluid and medication delivery, arterial cannulas for blood pressure monitoring or gas exchange, and surgical cannulas used during minimally invasive procedures.

Sterility is paramount for all kanülensysteme to prevent infection. They are usually supplied in sterile packaging and are designed for single use or, in some cases, for reprocessing according to strict guidelines. The development of kanülensysteme has significantly advanced medical practice by enabling precise and controlled interventions, improving patient outcomes, and minimizing invasiveness.
