Basket Liposuction Cannula – Luer Lock

Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories › Basket Liposuction Cannulas › Basket Liposuction Cannula – Luer Lock

The Basket Shaped Liposuction Cannula with Luer Lock fitting is a blunt-tip aspiration cannula with an open basket section at the distal end, used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum in the deep layer and the debulking stage of body contouring. It is listed under Basket Shaped Liposuction Cannulas, part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range.

Surgeons also refer to these instruments as cage cannulas, open basket lipo cannulas, high-flow debulking cannulas, or basket tip aspiration cannulas.

Luer Lock Basket Shaped Liposuction Cannula in German Stainless Steel

The Luer lock is the most common connection in aesthetic surgery. A threaded collar screws onto the syringe or tubing set and holds the joint closed under vacuum, where a slip fit can pull apart. In syringe-assisted liposuction that matters, because a disconnection breaks the vacuum and interrupts the pass.

How the Basket Shape Works

A basket cannula carries several openings cut around the distal section so that the remaining metal forms a cage, or basket, rather than a tube with holes in it. The open area is far larger than any drilled port pattern of the same diameter, and it runs all the way around the shaft.

That gives the highest draw rate in the range for a given cannula size. Fat enters from every direction at once and the shaft does not need to be aimed, so large volumes move in fewer passes. On a big case, that is time saved under anaesthesia and fewer strokes for the surgeon's hand to keep even.

The trade is control, and it is a real one. A basket removes fast and from all sides, so it belongs in the deep layer and the debulking stage, not close to the skin and not near the end of a case. Surgeons who use it typically debulk with the basket and then change to a low-port cannula for shaping. Used in the superficial plane it will take more than intended.

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 basket openings rather than the end of the shaft.

Choose Your Fitting

Every fitting below carries the same basket shaft, the same closed blunt tip and the same size grid. Pick the one that matches the syringe, vacuum line or handpiece already in your theater.

Clinical Applications

• Deep-layer debulking of the abdomen, back and outer thighs
• High-volume cases where pass count and operating time need to come down
• Larger patients with the 4.0mm to 6.0mm diameters
• First-stage removal before changing to a low-port cannula for shaping

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 every opening with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. An open basket traps tissue debris more readily than a drilled shaft, so flush from both ends until the water runs clear and inspect the whole cage under light; check the struts for any bending, since a deformed basket loses its shape permanently.

How to Choose

The basket pattern is built for volume, so the 4.0mm to 6.0mm diameters in 30cm to 35cm are the core working range for deep-layer debulking. The 3.0mm to 3.5mm in 25cm to 30cm suits flanks and smaller body areas. Below 2.5mm a basket has little advantage over a conventional port pattern, and it should not be used in the superficial layer at any size. Match the fitting to the syringe, vacuum line or handpiece already in your theater.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Luer Lock basket shaped liposuction cannula used for?

It is used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum in the deep layer during the debulking stage of body contouring. The open cage section gives the largest draw area of any pattern in the range, so large volumes are cleared in fewer passes than a drilled port cannula of the same diameter.

What is the difference between a basket cannula and a multi-port cannula?

A multi-port cannula is a tube with holes drilled in it; a basket cannula has the distal section cut away so the metal forms a cage. The basket has a much larger open area and removes fat far faster, but with less control, so it is used for deep-layer debulking rather than shaping.

Is this cannula autoclavable?

Yes. The instrument is fully reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and every opening with clean water immediately after use, remove all residue before sterilization, and dry completely. Inspect each opening under light at every cycle, since edge condition decides how the cannula behaves in tissue.

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. Testing a sample first is the fastest way to check edge finish and hub fit against your own syringes.

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.
