Set Suggestions Liposuction Cannulas
When selecting Liposuction Cannulas for a procedure, it’s important to consider the type of liposuction being performed, the area of the body being treated, and the surgeon’s preferences. Below are some common set suggestions based on different techniques and areas of treatment:
Basic Liposuction Cannula Set:
Straight Cannulas: For general fat removal in larger areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Hollow Cannulas: For efficient fat removal with multiple side holes for even suction.
Size Range: Cannulas in 2.5 mm to 5 mm diameter for medium to large volume areas.
Vibration-Assisted Liposuction (VAL):
Vibrating Cannulas: These cannulas feature a mechanical vibrating action, which helps break down fat more easily, allowing smoother and quicker fat removal.
Smaller Cannulas (2 mm to 3.5 mm): Ideal for precision and contouring in more delicate or fibrous areas.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):
Power Cannulas: These cannulas are connected to a power-assisted device, allowing for automatic movement to help dislodge fat more efficiently with less effort.
Cannula Sizes: Typically 3 mm to 5 mm diameter for use in medium to large areas, with more flexible options for small or tricky areas.
Tumescent Liposuction Cannula Set:
Blunt Tip Cannulas: Used for injecting the tumescent solution (a mixture of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine) into the fat before liposuction to minimize bleeding and provide local anesthesia.
Hollow, Side-Hole Cannulas: For fat removal after the tumescent solution has been introduced.
Small Area Contouring Set:
Fine/Thin Cannulas (1.5 mm to 2.5 mm): Ideal for delicate, small areas such as the chin, neck, arms, and knees, where precision and minimal scarring are important.
Micro Cannulas: For fat removal in sensitive or hard-to-reach areas.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL):
Cannulas with Ultrasound Emission: These cannulas are used in combination with ultrasound energy to liquefy fat before aspiration. They are typically thicker and more rigid to withstand the energy emissions.
Key Considerations:
Cannula Length: Longer cannulas (8–10 inches) are typically used for larger areas, while shorter ones (4–6 inches) are better for smaller, more precise areas.
Tip Design: Choose from blunt, sharp, or side-hole tips, depending on the level of precision and fat removal needed.
Handle Type: Handles may be ergonomic or standard, and some may include suction control features for better operator control.
Each of these sets can be customized based on the surgical technique and area being treated, ensuring the best outcome for the procedure.
