Patent ID: 8622977

Claim:
A carrier for injecting a filler product, in particular for microplasty or lipo-reconstruction, comprising a semi-rigid tubular needle ( 2 ) having a longitudinal axis with a closed hemispherical distal end ( 5 ) and a proximal end ( 3 ) for connecting to an injection device, said needle having an inner tubular surface ( 7 ) defining an inner transverse cross-section (Si) and an outer tubular surface ( 8 ) defining an outer transverse cross-section (Se), wherein at least one output side opening ( 11 ) is formed in the needle in the vicinity of the distal end, characterized in that at least one output side opening ( 11 ) is defined by a peripheral edge ( 12 ) with a rounded connection profile free of any protruding edge, between the inner and outer surfaces of the needle, and in that the wall of the needle ( 1 ) has a thickness (e), from the proximal end ( 3 ) and over a predetermined length of the needle, which is greater than the thickness of the needle which is constant up to the distal end ( 5 ), wherein the tubular needle is made from a single metal mass so that no discontinuity appears between the hemispherical distal end ( 5 ) and the tubular part of the needle.
