Pyramid Hole Cannula – Stainless Steel Luer Lock

The Pyramid Hole Liposuction Cannula with Stainless Steel Luer Lock is a blunt-tip aspiration cannula with one upper hole and two parallel holes below, 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 Pyramid Hole Liposuction Cannulas, part of the Healermed Liposuction Cannulas and Accessories range.

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

All-Steel Luer Lock Hub on a Pyramid Hole 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 solid stainless steel hub keeps its thread form and finish far longer, which matters in a center running several liposuction cases a day through the same tray.

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.

Key Features

• ✔ Solid stainless steel Luer lock hub — no anodized coating to wear off
• ✔ Built for repeat sterilization in high-throughput theaters
• ✔ Three holes in a triangle — one upper aiming hole with two parallel below
• ✔ Compact working aperture, so removal stays where the surgeon points it
• ✔ Vacuum load shared around the shaft, so the cannula tracks straighter
• ✔ Closed blunt tip separates the plane without cutting vessels or nerves
• ✔ Deburred hole edges for clean passage through fat
• ✔ One-piece German stainless steel shaft, fully reusable

Specifications

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

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.

How to Choose

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.

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 pyramid 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 hole edge quality.

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.

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 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.
