Liposuction cannulas are specialized surgical instruments used in liposuction procedures to remove excess fat from targeted areas of the body. These slender, hollow tubes are designed to be inserted beneath the skin, allowing the surgeon to break up and suction fat deposits efficiently and precisely.
Cannulas come in various shapes, sizes, and tip configurations to accommodate different body areas and surgical techniques. Common types include blunt-tip cannulas for minimizing tissue damage, micro cannulas for fine contouring, and power-assisted cannulas for enhanced fat removal efficiency.
Typically made from stainless steel, liposuction cannulas are durable, reusable, and easy to sterilize. Modern designs often incorporate features like ergonomic handles for better control and specialized tips to optimize fat extraction while preserving surrounding tissues.
These instruments are essential for achieving smooth, natural contours during liposuction procedures. Their precision and versatility make them vital tools for cosmetic surgeons aiming to enhance patient aesthetics and confidence
