Some embodiments are directed to a needle assembly including at least N injection needles where N is at least four and a multiple of two. The needle assembly also includes a first liquid port adapted to be connected to an injection device, and N second liquid ports connected to one of the N injection needles. N/2 main liquid pathways each have an entrance connected to the first liquid port and an exit, further including N/2 secondary liquid pathways that have two extremities each opening on one of the N second liquid ports, and a mid portion connected to the exit of one of the main liquid pathways. The main liquid pathways and the secondary liquid pathways define N liquid flow paths between the first liquid port and the N second liquid ports dimensioned so a pressure drop between them is similar.

Multiple injection needle assembly

Some embodiments are directed to a needle assembly that includes a needle having a textured portion and non-textured portion adjacent to the textured portion, and a hub arranged over at least a part of the textured portion of the needle. The textured portion includes laser etched grooves formed on an outer surface of the needle and oriented in a circumferential direction of the needle. Each of the laser etched grooves has two protruded portions and a dented portion interposed between the two protruded portions. Each of the two protruded portions has a top surface located above an outer surface of non-textured portion, and the dented portion has a bottom surface located below the outer surface of non-textured portion.
