Five Port Crescent Hole Liposuction Cannulas

Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories › Five Port Crescent Hole Liposuction Cannulas › Five Port Crescent Hole Liposuction Cannulas

A five port crescent hole liposuction cannula is a blunt-tip liposuction cannula with five crescent-shaped openings along the shaft, used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum during liposuction and body contouring. The curved leading edge of each crescent guides tissue into the port rather than pulling it against a rim, which keeps the draw smooth through fibrous tissue. This category is part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range and covers 13 hub and handle fittings across 84 diameter and length combinations, supplied worldwide to surgeons, clinics and distributors.

Five Port Crescent Hole Liposuction Cannulas in German Stainless Steel

Most ports are drilled, which makes them round, and a round rim meets tissue as a tight closed curve. A crescent is ground with a scooped leading edge that guides tissue inward instead, and that changes how the cannula feels through the whole pass.

What the Crescent Hole Shape Does

Five openings, each cut as a crescent rather than a circle or a slot. A crescent has one curved leading edge that scoops toward the lumen and a shallower trailing side, so the opening is asymmetric front to back.

That asymmetry is the design. As the liposuction cannula advances, the curved leading edge meets tissue first and guides it inward along the curve rather than presenting a flat wall or a tight circular rim. Fat is led into the port instead of being pulled sideways against an edge, which makes the draw feel smoother through the handle and reduces the grabbing that round holes produce in fibrous tissue.

Five openings is a deliberate middle count. Six or more turn a cannula into a debulking instrument that removes faster than most surgeons want to judge; three or fewer make progress slow across a large area. Five with a scooped profile clears at a working rate while the shaped edges keep each opening from biting, which suits the long middle phase of a case where volume still has to come out but the contour is already forming.

The crescent edges are also what wears. A crescent is a ground profile, and once the leading curve is flattened or nicked it stops guiding tissue and starts dragging it, which is the behaviour the shape exists to avoid. The distal tip is closed and rounded, separating the plane by blunt dissection while the vacuum works through the five crescent openings rather than the end of the shaft.

Choose Your Fitting

Every fitting below carries the same five port crescent hole 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

• The main working phase of a case, where volume and contour both matter
• Fibrous tissue where round ports grab and stall
• Abdomen, flanks, back and thighs with the 3.0mm to 4.5mm diameters
• Arm and neck contouring with the 2.0mm to 2.5mm diameters

How to Choose a Size

Diameter sets how much fat comes out per pass and length sets the reach. For body contouring of the abdomen, flanks, back and thighs, the 3.0mm to 4.5mm diameters in 25cm to 35cm are the usual working range and where five crescent ports are used most. The 2.0mm to 2.5mm range in 15cm to 25cm covers arms and the neck. For final shaping choose a single-hole or short-hole cannula, which removes far less per pass. Match the fitting to the syringe, vacuum line or handpiece already in your theater.

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 the opening with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. A crescent has a longer perimeter than a round hole of the same width and a scooped recess that holds residue, so flush until the water runs clear and inspect the full curve of all five openings under light at each cycle. A flattened or nicked leading edge drags tissue instead of guiding it and should take the instrument out of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a five port crescent hole liposuction cannula used for?

It is used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum during liposuction and body contouring, through the main working phase of a case. Five crescent openings guide tissue inward along their curved leading edges rather than pulling it against a rim, clearing at a working rate while staying smooth in fibrous tissue.

What is the difference between crescent holes and round holes on a liposuction cannula?

A round hole presents a closed circular rim, so fat is pulled sideways against a tight curve and can catch in fibrous tissue. A crescent has a scooped leading edge that guides tissue inward along the curve as the cannula advances, which keeps the draw smoother and reduces grabbing.

Is this cannula autoclavable?

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

Which size should I use?

For body contouring of the abdomen, flanks, back and thighs, 3.0mm to 4.5mm diameters in 25cm to 35cm are the usual range and where this pattern is used most. Arms and the neck suit 2.0mm to 2.5mm in 15cm to 25cm. For final shaping a single-hole or short-hole liposuction cannula removes far less per pass and is the better choice.

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, length and fitting you want to evaluate and we will confirm what can be sent. Testing a sample before a bulk order is the fastest way to check edge finish and hub fit against your own equipment.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Custom diameters, working lengths and opening dimensions 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.
