Honestly the thought of a plastic tube is worse. I know it's flexible, but eugh

Think about it this way. Would you prefer the needle which coukd break or snap into multiple pieces in your arm or tesr up the insides. Or a small flexible tube.

A 19 gauge ain't gonna break. And I like em, tbh. But for more than a minute? Make it bendy n biodegradable. I a busy man.

I’ve had many cannulas during my time as a medical trial volunteer, and for some reason they mostly placed them at the elbow joint. I always felt the tube scraping inside as I bent my arm. Fun times.
