Abstract: A cannula (100) for an injection device, the cannula defining a tapered end part termination (102) in a distal end for insertion into the tissue of a living being, wherein the hardness of the cannula decreases in the direction of the distal end. A tool (104) for providing a tapered portion of a cannula, the tool defining a tapered cavity (106).
