What a Kotzur 9 holes liposuction cannula is
A Kotzur 9 holes liposuction cannula is a multi port pattern known by the Kotzur name and by its hole count. Buyers search for it as a Kotzur cannula or a Kotzur liposuction cannula, and the count is what sets it apart in our family: a nine hole liposuction cannula against the one, two and three port patterns beside it.
Google AI Mode, read on 21 October 2026, describes the defining trait as the nine aspiration ports, placed along the shaft so the cannula draws over a long stretch rather than at one band. It names three jobs for it: smoothing out irregularities by leveling uneven fat, harvesting fat, and plain suction in body contouring.
Our own photograph of this cannula shows the pattern on ours. There is a larger port close to the tip, and small round holes further back along the shaft, set at different points around it rather than in one straight row.
Key design features
Nine holes along the shaft
The holes are not all the same size. A larger port sits near the tip, and the small round holes behind it spread the draw back along the shaft. The more of the shaft is drawing, the more evenly a pass takes fat from the layer it moves through.
A closed, rounded tip
The end is closed and rounded, like every cannula in this family. It leads the shaft through the fat, and the holes behind it do the work of drawing tissue in.
Seven ways to finish the back end
The order form offers seven ways to finish the back end: a super fix handle in style A or style B, an aluminum Luer lock, a steel Luer lock, a super Luer lock, a Toomey hub, or a threaded fitting. A Luer lock screws onto a syringe or a Luer handle, and the Toomey hub takes a 60 cc Toomey syringe for harvesting by hand. The super fix handles make the cannula one piece for a suction line. The hub sets the price, from 22 dollars with the aluminum or steel Luer lock to 55 with the style A handle.
Five diameters, 15 to 35 cm
It comes in 2, 2.4, 3, 4 and 5 mm. The 2 mm is made in 15 and 18 cm, the 2.4 mm in 15, 20 and 25 cm, the 3 and 4 mm in every length from 15 to 35 cm, and the 5 mm in 25, 30 and 35 cm. The AI Mode answer names 3 mm as the common diameter.
Which size to order
Eighteen sizes, read off our own order form on 21 October 2026. Not every length is made at every diameter, and the form shows only the sizes that go with the hub you choose.
| Diameter | Lengths on the order form | How many |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mm | 15 cm, 18 cm | 2 |
| 2.4 mm | 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm | 3 |
| 3 mm | 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, 30 cm, 35 cm | 5 |
| 4 mm | 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, 30 cm, 35 cm | 5 |
| 5 mm | 25 cm, 30 cm, 35 cm | 3 |
Where it is used
The uses below come from the Google AI Mode answer read on 21 October 2026. They are its words about the pattern, not our measurements. The last column is ours.
| Use | What the answer says | Where our sizes fit |
|---|---|---|
| Leveling uneven fat | Works as an equalizer to even out irregular deposits | 2.4 and 3 mm, 15 to 25 cm |
| Fat harvesting | Takes fat for transfer under controlled pressure | 3 mm, on a Toomey hub or a Luer lock syringe |
| Body contouring | Suction over a long stretch of the shaft | 3, 4 and 5 mm, 25 to 35 cm |
What it is for, and what it is not for
Nine holes spread the draw. These are the jobs where another cannula of ours does the work better.
| Job | Use this cannula? | What to use instead |
|---|---|---|
| Leveling, harvesting and suction over a long stretch | Yes | This is the job it is made for |
| Directed suction kept away from the skin | No | A pyramid, with its ports on one face |
| Fine work from a single point | No | A one hole cannula |
| Fibrous or previously treated tissue | No | A cutting tip, such as our cobra or V dissector cannulas |
| Infusing tumescent fluid | No | An infiltration cannula, from our tumescent infiltration range |
How it compares with the rest of the family
Five patterns make up this family on our site, from one port to nine. The second column is read off our own photograph of each tip, and the last off each product’s own order form.
| Pattern | What the tip carries, from our own photograph | What that is for | On our order form |
|---|---|---|---|
| One hole | one elongated port on the side, a short way behind the tip | control in small areas and on finishing passes | 2 to 5 mm, 10 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
| Two hole | two elongated ports in a line on the same side | a little more draw than one port, still from one side | 2 to 5 mm, 15 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
| Three hole | three elongated ports in a row along one side | even suction along one plane of the fat | no size or hub choice on the listing, so tell us both when you order |
| Pyramid | one large port nearest the tip and two smaller ports behind it, one either side | ports that can be turned away from the skin | 2 to 5 mm, 15 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
| Kotzur 9 holes (this page) | nine holes: a larger port near the tip and small round holes further back along the shaft | leveling and harvesting over a broader stretch of the shaft | 2 to 5 mm, 15 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
Materials and finish
Every Kotzur cannula we make is formed from high quality medical grade stainless steel. The steel itself is made to a German specification. We do not publish a grade number.
The nine holes are cut through the wall of the tube, and their edges are what tissue passes over on the way in. The shaft is straight. On the aluminum Luer lock the hub is aluminum, and on the steel Luer lock it is steel.
Caring for it
Flush it as soon as it comes out of use, then push a brush through the full length of the lumen. Nine holes are nine places for fat to lodge, and the small ones are easy to miss, so clean each from the outside and look through them against a light. Dry it, steam sterilize it on the normal instrument cycle, and store it straight.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kotzur 9 holes liposuction cannula used for?
It is used in body contouring for leveling uneven fat, for harvesting fat and for suction. Its nine holes spread along the shaft let it draw over a long stretch at once, which is why it is described as working as an equalizer, a harvester and a suction cannula.
How much does a Kotzur 9 holes liposuction cannula cost?
The base price is 32 dollars and the hub moves it up or down: 22 dollars with the aluminum or steel Luer lock, 32 with the super Luer lock or the threaded fitting, 37 with the Toomey hub, and 45 or 55 with a super fix handle. Every cannula carries our three year replacement warranty.
What sizes does the Kotzur 9 holes liposuction cannula come in?
Diameters of 2, 2.4, 3, 4 and 5 mm, in lengths from 15 to 35 cm, eighteen sizes in all. The 2 mm comes in 15 and 18 cm only, and the 5 mm in 25, 30 and 35 cm. The size table above lists every combination.
How are the nine holes arranged?
On ours there is a larger port close to the tip and small round holes further back along the shaft, set at different points around it, as our photograph of this cannula shows. The holes are not in one straight row, so the cannula draws from more than one side.
How is a Kotzur cannula different from a three hole?
A three hole carries three ports in a straight row on one side, so its suction works along one plane. The Kotzur carries nine holes spread along and around the shaft, so it draws over a longer stretch and from more than one side.
