Abstract            : A cannula facilitates wide injections and deviates arteries.^1,2 Previous studies measured cannula penetration force regardless of angle.^3,4 We measured the penetration force of a cannula at two different angles in three arterial segments.

Ten facial arteries from five soft embalmed cadavers, aged 45 to 63 years, were tested at the mandibular body, oral commissure, and lower ala. Both segmental ends were grabbed. A 25-gauge cannula attached to a force gauge pierced the arterial wall at 45 and 90 degrees. In addition, the bifurcation of the artery at the superior labial artery was tested.
