A different approach to intradermal injection
A perpendicular intradermal injection is novel technique different from the standard of care Mantoux technique.
- Intradermal injection volumes are small, typically 0.1 - 0.2 mL. Use a 1 ml syringe (or smaller) for maximum control.
- After needle cannula insertion into the skin and during injection: Do not push the Bella-mu needle into the skin.*
- A clearly visible bleb/wheal indicates a successful intradermal injection.
