Reverse Pyramid Liposuction Cannula – Universal Luer Lock

Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories › Reverse Pyramid Liposuction Cannulas › Reverse Pyramid Liposuction Cannula – Universal Luer Lock

The Reverse Pyramid Liposuction Cannula with Universal Luer Lock fitting is a reverse pyramid liposuction cannula is a blunt-tip liposuction cannula with three ports in an inverted triangle: two openings above and one below. It is listed under Reverse Pyramid Liposuction Cannulas, part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range.

Surgeons also refer to these liposuction cannulas as inverted pyramid cannulas, reverse pyramid port lipo cannulas, or two-above-one triangle aspiration cannulas.

Reverse Pyramid Liposuction Cannula — Universal Luer Lock

Luer lock is a standard, but manufacturing tolerances differ between brands, and a hub cut to the tight end of the tolerance band can seat poorly on some syringes. A universal hub is machined to sit centrally in that band, so it locks properly across whatever stock is on the shelf that week. Under vacuum a poor seat is not just annoying, it leaks.

How the Reverse Pyramid Pattern Works

Three ports arranged as an inverted triangle: two openings sit above, side by side, and a single port sits below them. It is the pyramid pattern turned over, and the reason to turn it over is which way the aperture is weighted.

On a standard pyramid the single port sits at the top and the pair below, so the widest part of the aperture faces down toward the deeper plane. Reversing it puts the pair uppermost, so the broadest draw faces the skin side when the cannula is held in the normal working orientation. That makes the reverse pyramid the superficial member of the pair: more of the aperture is working the layer the surgeon can see and feel.

The single port below then balances the pull. Without it, two openings on one side would drag the liposuction cannula toward the skin. The third port underneath shares the vacuum load across the shaft, so the instrument tracks straight instead of climbing, which is exactly what you want when the aperture is weighted toward a thin layer.

Total removal is roughly three times a single hole, held in a compact group so the surgeon can judge how much has come from any one area. Rotating the shaft swaps the behaviour: turned over, the same cannula works the deep layer with a standard pyramid weighting. The distal tip is closed and rounded, separating the plane by blunt dissection while the vacuum works through the three ports rather than the end of the shaft.

Specifications

Clinical Applications

• Superficial contouring where the surgeon judges the result through the skin
• Mid-stage body contouring between debulking and final refinement
• Abdomen, flanks and thighs with the 3.0mm to 4.0mm diameters
• Arm, neck and submental work with the 2.0mm to 2.5mm 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 the opening with clean water immediately after use and dry fully before autoclaving. The upper pair and the lower port face opposite ways, so turn the cannula through a full rotation while flushing and confirm water runs from all three. Check each edge under light at every cycle, since the pattern only tracks straight while all three draw evenly.

How to Choose

Choose the universal hub if your syringe stock varies by brand or you supply a hospital group buying consumables centrally. Diameter sets how much fat comes out per pass and length sets the reach. For 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 superficial refinement, which is where the reverse weighting is most useful. The 1.0mm to 1.5mm diameters in 5cm to 12cm are for facial and submental contouring. Match the fitting to the syringe, vacuum line or handpiece already in your theater.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reverse pyramid liposuction cannula used for?

It is used to remove subcutaneous fat under vacuum during liposuction and body contouring. Two ports above and one below weight the aperture toward the superficial layer while keeping the cannula tracking straight, which suits contouring work judged through the skin.

What is the difference between a reverse pyramid and a standard pyramid cannula?

Both carry three ports in a triangle. On a standard pyramid the single port is uppermost and the pair below, weighting the draw toward the deeper plane. On a reverse pyramid the pair is uppermost, so more of the aperture works the layer nearest the skin, with the single port below balancing the pull.

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 and thighs, 3.0mm to 4.0mm diameters in 25cm to 35cm are the usual range. Arms, neck and superficial refinement suit 2.0mm to 2.5mm in 15cm to 25cm, which is where the reverse weighting helps most. Facial and submental contouring uses 1.0mm to 1.5mm in 5cm to 12cm.

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 against the syringe brands you actually stock confirms the universal hub fits your supply.

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.
