The GTI Cannula, a grooved tipped injection cannula, has been developed by aesthetic manufacturer Sterimedix in association with plastic and reconstructive surgeon Mr Olivier Amar.
According to Sterimedix, the grooved tip disrupts higher density scar tissue, releasing the surface indentation. The filler or fat can then be injected as the cannula is withdrawn to support the skin surface during healing.
The GTI Cannula can be used for the treatment of fine lines and small scars on the face by using a subcision technique, the company explains.
Richard Walker, head of sales and marketing at Sterimedix, said, “The device provides a simple and safe method for the treatment of facial scars or skin defects, avoiding the use of a sharp needle or blade. It is a unique cannula tip configuration that is not available anywhere else for a brand new application for aesthetic cannulas.”
The GTI Cannula is exclusively distributed by Sterimedix and is manufactured in the UK.
