regarding puncture
1. Take care to use devices of suitable dimensions (diameter, length), espe-
cially when treating obese patients and children.
2. For cannulas with stylets: Only perform the puncture (even when remov-
ing the cannula) with the stylet in place.
3. To avoid bending the cannula tip, never apply excessive force to the can-
nula
4. If you unexpectedly come into contact with bone, change the direction of
the cannula. Do not try to overcome bone resistance. Failure to adhere to
these rules could cause the tip of the cannula to bend.
5. Repeated bone contact will damage the cannula tip. On no account should
you continue to use a cannula damaged in this manner.
for catheter placement and removal:
1. Check that the catheter will pass through the cannula immediately before use.
2. The tip of the cannula can be damaged by bone contact during insertion.
