Set of disposable liposuction instruments, each comprising a metal trocar and cannula and a thin transparent plastic sleeve

摘要

The set consists of a number of instruments designed to be discarded after one use, each comprising a trocar (14) for piercing the skin, a sleeve (12) to receive the trocar with a light friction, and a cannula for sliding into a sleeve, having a soft distal end. Different sleeves are of different diameters and lengths to permit operation at different depths, and both sleeves and canulas have diameters which increase with their lengths. The trocars and/or cannulas are made from a metal or alloy which allows them to curve; the cannula diameters vary between 1 and 2.15 mm, and their lengths do not exceed 5 cm for facial treatments or 12 cm for treating mammary ptoses. The sleeves of different lengths are identified by different colours.
