Tuffier cannula

A Tuffier cannula (or cannula) is a special silicone tube that is used in surgery and pediatrics to administer medications into deep tissues and internal organs. The name Tuffier cannula comes from the name of the French physician and surgeon Edgar de Tuffier.

Currently, the Tuffier cannula is used to treat various diseases, such as Crohn's disease, colon cancer, pancreatitis and others. The cannula is inserted into the body through a small cut or puncture in the skin and then slowly advanced to the desired organ. During the movement, the cannula is filled with a drug, which is then distributed inside the organ. This allows you to achieve greater accuracy and efficiency of treatment, as well as reduce the risk of side effects.

One of the advantages of using a cannula is that it is easy and safe to use. It is made of high-quality silicone, which ensures reliable tightness and protects against leakage of the drug. In addition, it can be used repeatedly without changing to a new tube each time.

However, despite all the advantages, the use of Tuffier cannulas has its limitations and risks. They may cause side effects such as infection, allergic reactions, or tissue damage. They can also limit the patient's movement and reduce their quality of life during treatment.

In addition, some patients may have contraindications to the use of cannulas, for example due to an allergy to silicone or other materials. In such cases
