Pyramid hole liposuction cannulas are blunt-tip aspiration cannulas with three openings arranged as a triangle — one hole on the upper surface and two parallel holes below — used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum during liposuction and body contouring. The pattern gives more draw than a single hole while keeping the working aperture compact, which makes it the everyday middle setting between precision and volume. This category is part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range and covers 11 hub and handle fittings across 84 diameter and length combinations, supplied worldwide to surgeons, clinics and distributors.

Three Hole Pyramid Pattern Cannulas in German Stainless Steel
Most of a liposuction case is neither bulk removal nor final refinement. It is the long middle stretch where the surgeon is still moving real volume but the shape has started to matter. A high-port cannula is too fast for that stage and a single hole is too slow. Everything in this category is built for the work in between.
How the Pyramid Hole Pattern Works
The pyramid pattern is three openings arranged as a triangle on the shaft: one hole on the upper surface, and two more set parallel below it. The name comes from that layout — a single apex with a base of two. It is a deliberate middle setting between a single hole and a full multi-port shaft.
The upper hole is the one the surgeon aims. Held with the apex facing the layer being worked, it behaves much like a single hole cannula: removal happens at a point the surgeon can see and control. The two parallel holes below add draw without spreading it along the length of the shaft, so the cannula clears more per pass than a single hole design while the working aperture stays compact.
The other effect of a triangle is balance. With one opening the whole vacuum load sits on one side and the cannula can pull toward it; three openings spaced around the shaft share that load, so the instrument tracks straighter through the tissue and needs less correction from the hand across a long pass.
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 three side holes rather than the end of the shaft.

Clinical Applications
- Mid-stage body contouring after bulk removal and before final refinement
- Abdomen, flanks and thighs where a compact aperture keeps the contour even
- Arm, neck and submental work with the shorter, smaller-diameter sizes
- Cases where one cannula has to cover both volume and shaping
How to Choose a Size
Diameter sets how much fat comes out per pass and length sets the reach. For general body contouring of the abdomen, flanks and thighs, the 3.0mm to 4.0mm diameters in 25cm to 35cm are the usual working range. The 2.0mm to 2.5mm range in 15cm to 25cm covers arms, the neck and mid-stage contouring, which is where the pyramid pattern is chosen most often. The 1.0mm to 1.5mm diameters in 5cm to 12cm are for facial and submental work. 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 all three holes with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. Check each opening under light at each cycle: the pyramid pattern only behaves predictably while all three holes draw evenly, and one partly blocked opening shifts the balance without the surgeon noticing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pyramid hole liposuction cannula used for?
It is used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum during liposuction and body contouring. Three holes in a triangle — one upper and two parallel below — give more draw than a single opening while keeping the aperture compact, which suits the middle stage of a case where volume and shaping matter equally.
What is the difference between a pyramid hole and a single hole cannula?
A pyramid hole cannula has three openings in a triangle — one upper and two parallel below; a single hole cannula has one. The pyramid clears more fat per pass and tracks straighter because the vacuum load is shared around the shaft. The single hole gives finer point control and is the better choice for the smallest corrections.
Is this cannula autoclavable?
Yes. The instrument is fully reusable and can be steam autoclaved at 134°C. Flush the lumen and all three holes with clean water immediately after use, remove all residue before sterilization, and dry completely. Inspect every opening each cycle, since the pattern depends on all three 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.
Which fitting should I order?
Order the fitting that matches your existing equipment, not the shaft. Luer lock for standard syringes and suction tubing, Toomey hub for 60cc syringes, a power handle for manual use with a dedicated handle, and a MicroAire PAL or Lumsail hub only if you own that handpiece. The cannula itself is identical across all of them.
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 hole edge finish and hub fit against your own equipment.
Can I order a custom size?
Yes. Custom diameters, working lengths and hole 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.
