HK Monty Cannulas are innovative tumescent infiltration cannulas that dramatically improve the technique and speed of the infiltration process and delivery of tumescent local anesthesia.
There are 3 types of Monty Cannulas:
Full Monty – has holes along the entire distal (90% of the cannula length)
Half Monty – has holes along the half the distal (50% of the cannula length)
Tip Monty – has holes at top of the distal (20% of the cannula length)
Cannulas Sizes/Lengths:
- 14 gauge - 8”, 20cm
- 16 gauge - 6”, 15cm
- 18 gauge - 6”, 15cm
Monty Infiltration Set Options (Choose gauge – 14, 16, or 18)
- Full Monty (2)
- Half Monty (2)
- Tip Monty (1)
Using Monty Cannulas can not only decrease the infiltration time but can lessen the discomfort the patient experiences with other techniques.

Monty Cannula Technique
Infiltration Cannulas
The process is initiated by using a 20-gauge spinal needle to infiltrate a single path along a deep plane within subcutaneous fat deposits. Once an initial path is anesthetized, either a Half Monty or a Full Monty cannula can be painlessly inserted along the path. Tumescent infiltration spanning the entire length of the path is accomplished with the Monty Cannula remaining in a stationary position, while an HK Klein Pump is used to provide a rapid continuous flow of Tumescent Local Anesthesia (Klein solution). After the tissue adjacent to the infiltrated path is sufficiently tumescent, the Monty Infiltrator is withdrawn and reinserted beside a bordering partially anesthetized path, and tumescent infiltration is restarted. This process is repeated in both deep and superficial planes until the entire area is tumescent. The Tip Monty is used in the last stage of the infiltration process to ensure both planes are sufficiently anesthetized. When HK Surgical’s 2X Infiltration Tubing is used together with two Monty Infiltrators, the time required for tumescent infiltration can be reduced by 25-50%.
