Liposuction Cannulas — Pattern and Clinical Use
The cannula is passed through a small incision into the fat layer and worked back and forth, with suction drawing fat through the side ports. Port pattern and cannula diameter determine how aggressively fat is removed and how smooth the result is: larger ports and diameters work faster but risk contour irregularity, while fine multi-port cannulas give a smoother, more controlled result in superficial layers.
The tip must be blunt and the ports deburred, because the cannula passes blind through tissue containing vessels and nerves. A sharp port edge cuts rather than aspirates, which causes bleeding and contour damage.

| Luer or threaded hub | Matched to handle and tubing |
Material, Finish and Quality Control
We forge Liposuction Cannulas from 316L austenitic stainless. Ports are deburred and tips checked blunt, since the cannula passes blind through tissue containing vessels and nerves. Each batch passes Rockwell hardness testing, dimensional checks on port deburring and tip bluntness, and visual inspection under our ISO 13485 system before passivation and final finishing. Mirror and satin finishes are both available — satin is usually specified where glare under operating lights is a concern.
Who Sources Liposuction Cannulas From Surgical Star
Liposuction cannulas sell to aesthetic surgical distributors as graduated sets, and are one of the strongest private-label lines in cosmetic surgery given surgeon preference for particular tip patterns.
OEM, Certification and Ordering
Every Liposuction Cannulas can be produced as a private-label line: your logo laser-marked on the hub, your catalog numbers, and your own printed packaging, manufactured from your drawings or a reference sample. Manufactured under an ISO 13485 quality system, CE-marked to EU MDR 2017/745 and covered by US FDA establishment registration. A certificate of conformity and an ASTM F899 material certificate for the exact steel grade ship with your order.
MOQs are low and new-brand friendly, and vary with pattern, finish and branding. Pricing is direct from the factory and tiered by volume. After you approve a branded pre-production sample, bulk production typically runs four to six weeks and ships worldwide DDP with HS codes handled. See how OEM & private label works →

Frequently Asked Questions
How does port pattern affect the result?
Larger ports and diameters remove fat faster but risk contour irregularity. Fine multi-port cannulas give smoother, more controlled results in superficial layers.
Why must the tip be blunt?
The cannula passes blind through tissue containing vessels and nerves. A blunt tip pushes past them rather than cutting through.
Can you make custom port patterns?
Yes. Port pattern, diameter, length and hub type are all built to specification, which is why surgeons often develop their own preferred cannula.
Can you manufacture these under our own brand?
Yes — full OEM and private label. We laser-mark your logo and catalog numbers, pack in your branded boxes, and work from your drawings, tech pack or a reference sample, with a pre-production sample approved before any bulk run.
