“…This descending order is in accordance with a previous publication that investigated the subcutaneous fat layer of related donor sites and therefore encountered lower values for both forearm flaps and for the scapular and parascapular flaps (Sieg et al, 2003).…”

“…This difference can be attributed to differences in the localization of the ultrasound probe when estimating flap thickness, as this was assessed more caudally in a previous study (Sieg et al, 2003).…”

“…Available reports have evaluated the thickness of some free flaps using ultrasonography as a non-invasive method (Salmi et al, 1995;Nakayama et al, 2002;Sieg et al, 2003) or computed tomography (Seth et al, 2011).…”

“…Another injection fluid depot was at a depth of 3.3 mm, and categorized as located in the shallow hypodermis. Studies evaluating SC skin thickness using ultrasound evaluation have reported a mean abdomen SC skin thickness ranging from 12.2 mm to 40.2 mm according to gender and body mass index,14,15 and a mean anterior thigh SC skin thickness ranging from 7.6 mm to 14.3 mm 14,16. Therefore, a 12.7 mm depth of needle insertion with a skin-fold procedure should ensure that the injection of fluid is made into the SC tissue layer, regardless of the subject’s body characteristics (including body mass index).…”

Objective:A disposable autoinjector was developed for subcutaneous (SC) self-injection by patients with chronic diseases. To verify its performance and evaluate its acceptance, a clinical study was conducted in healthy volunteers, comparing SC injections performed by subjects using the autoinjector with SC injections performed by nurses using a syringe.Methods:This was a randomized, single-center, crossover study comparing SC self-injection using an autoinjector with SC nurse-administered injection using a syringe. Two volumes (0.2 mL and 1 mL) were injected into healthy volunteers. Study objectives included assessment of the accuracy and consistency of the volume injected by the injection systems, and skin reaction and pain associated with the injection. The fluid depot in the SC tissue layer was evaluated by ultrasound. Subject acceptance was evaluated using questionnaires on attitudes and emotions towards the injection technique, and challenged by seeking the subjects’ preferred system for a final study injection or future treatment.Results:A total of 960 injections (480 with autoinjector, 480 with syringe) were performed in 40 subjects. There were no significant differences in mean fluid leakage and injected volumes between the systems. Pain associated with the injection was significantly lower with the auto-injector than with the syringe. Local skin reaction at the injection site was overall satisfactory. Injections were appropriately performed by all subjects. At study end, all 40 subjects preferred the autoinjector for a final study injection and for future treatment.Conclusion:This study indicated that the autoinjector used by the subject was similar to a syringe used by a nurse in terms of performance and safety in administering the injections, and better in terms of pain, overall acceptance, and preference.
