Abstract:
A new method for the injection of anesthetics is discussed for the tumescent technique of local anesthesia for liposuction. A 12-gauge 30-cm needle with numerous injection ports is used with an injection gun. The technique requires minimal effort and has been found to be a more rapid method of injecting large volumes of fluid than previous systems.
