6 Spiral Port Cannula – Stainless Steel Luer Lock

The 6 Spiral Port Liposuction Cannula with Stainless Steel Luer Lock is a blunt-tip aspiration cannula with six spiral ports, used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum. The hub is machined from solid stainless steel rather than a softer alloy, so the thread survives high-volume autoclave and cleaning cycles without wearing or discoloring. It is listed under 6 Spiral Port Liposuction Cannulas, part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range.

This instrument is also known as a steel hub six port cannula, an all-metal Luer lock spiral cannula, or a six hole aspiration cannula.

All-Steel Luer Lock Hub on a Six Spiral Port Cannula

Hub material decides how long a reusable cannula stays usable. Anodized aluminum hubs are lighter and cheaper, but the anodized layer can fade and the thread can gall after repeated steam cycles. A debulking cannula sees the longest run time in a case and the heaviest suction load, so hub wear shows up on this pattern sooner than on a finishing instrument.

How the Six Spiral Port Pattern Works

Six ports are stepped along the shaft and rotated around it, each one set further back and turned to a different side than the one before. It is the same spiral principle as the three port version, extended: twice the openings, spread over a longer stretch of shaft and covering more of the circumference.

The result is a wider draw band and a faster one. Each pass takes fat from six points at different depths and angles instead of three, so a given area is cleared in fewer passes and the tunnel it leaves is broader and less sharply defined. Adjacent passes overlap heavily, which is what keeps the transitions soft across a large surface.

The trade against the three port version is control. Six openings remove more per stroke, so there is less margin to stop at exactly the right point. That makes this the cannula for the debulking stage over large areas — abdomen, back, outer thighs — and makes the three port version the better choice once the shape is close and the work moves to blending. Many surgeons carry both and switch as the case progresses.

The distal tip is closed and rounded. It separates the plane by blunt dissection as the cannula advances, pushing vessels and nerves aside rather than dividing them, and the vacuum works through the six spiral ports rather than the end of the shaft.

Key Features

• ✔ Solid stainless steel Luer lock hub — no anodized coating to wear off
• ✔ Built for the heavy suction load a six port shaft puts on the joint
• ✔ Six ports stepped along the shaft and rotated — an extended spiral, not a cluster
• ✔ Wider draw band clears a large area in fewer passes
• ✔ Heavy overlap between adjacent passes keeps transitions soft across a big surface
• ✔ Closed blunt tip separates the plane without cutting vessels or nerves
• ✔ Deburred port edges for clean passage through fat
• ✔ One-piece German stainless steel shaft, fully reusable

Specifications

Clinical Applications

• Debulking large areas — abdomen, back and outer thighs
• High-volume body contouring where pass count needs to stay manageable
• Deep-layer work in larger patients with the 4.0mm to 6.0mm diameters
• Flanks and lower back with the 3.0mm to 3.5mm diameters

Material and Sterilization

The cannula is made from German stainless steel with a passivated surface that resists corrosion and pitting through repeated cleaning cycles. It is reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and all six ports with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. Because the ports sit at different points along the shaft, turn the cannula while flushing so water passes through each one, and check every opening under light — with six ports there are more places for residue to sit than on any other pattern in the range.

How to Choose

Diameter sets how much fat comes out per pass and length sets the reach. The six port pattern is built for area, so the 3.5mm to 5.0mm diameters in 30cm to 35cm are the core working range for abdomen, back and outer thighs. The 3.0mm in 25cm to 30cm suits flanks and smaller body areas. Below 2.5mm the six port pattern has little advantage over the three port version, so for arms, neck and superficial work choose the 3 spiral port cannula instead. Match the fitting to the syringe, vacuum line or handpiece already in your theater.

Why Buy Direct From the Manufacturer

Manufactured by Healermed Instruments, a surgical instruments manufacturer and exporter based in Sialkot, Pakistan. Factory-direct pricing removes the importer and distributor layer. Production runs under an ISO 13485 and FDA CGMP quality system, with ISO 9001 and CE Mark certification. OEM manufacturing and custom branding are available for distributor and brand-owner orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stainless steel Luer lock six port cannula used for?

It is used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum during liposuction, with a solid steel hub that connects to standard Luer lock syringes and suction tubing. It is chosen where instruments are sterilized many times a day and hub durability matters as much as port quality.

What is the difference between a 6 spiral port and a 3 spiral port cannula?

Both use the same spiral principle, with ports stepped along the shaft and rotated. The six port version has twice the openings over a longer stretch, so it clears fat faster across a wider band and suits debulking large areas. The three port version removes more slowly and gives more control, which suits blending and superficial work.

Is this cannula autoclavable?

Yes. The instrument is fully reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and all six ports with clean water immediately after use, turning the cannula so water passes through each one, then dry completely before sterilization. Inspect every opening each cycle, since the pattern depends on all six drawing evenly.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk orders?

The minimum order quantity is agreed per order rather than set at a fixed number. Send us the sizes, fittings and quantities you need through the wholesale request page and we will confirm the minimum for that specification. This lets a small distributor start with a trial order and a larger importer scale up on the same terms.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Samples are available on request and the buyer covers the shipping charges. Tell us the diameter and length you want to evaluate and we will confirm what can be sent. A sample also lets you run the steel hub through your own sterilization protocol before a bulk order.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Custom diameters, working lengths and port configurations are available on request in addition to the standard size grid. Send your specification through the wholesale request page and our production team will confirm what can be produced. Custom branding is also available for distributor and OEM orders.
