Pyramid Liposuction Cannula, 2 to 5 mm

What a pyramid liposuction cannula is

A pyramid liposuction cannula is named for the shape its three ports make. One port sits centrally, nearest the closed tip. Two more sit further back, one on either side. Seen from above, the three mark out a pyramid. Google AI Mode, read on 21 October 2026, calls this the standard pyramid or Las Vegas configuration, and some makers list the same tip as a Las Vegas liposuction cannula. In its short form, typed into search on its own, it is a pyramid cannula.

The layout gives the cannula a front. The central port leads and does the direct work, and the lateral ports draw from the tissue beside it. The AI Mode answer names the result as balanced aspiration, with the vacuum spread across three ports rather than taken at one point.

Because the ports are grouped toward one face, the surgeon can turn them away from the skin and keep the suction in the deeper fat. That is the reason the answer gives for choosing the pattern, and it is the thing to know before the first stroke.

Key design features

Three ports in a pyramid

Our own photograph of this cannula shows the layout clearly: one large elongated port just behind the tip, and two smaller ports further back on either side of the shaft. The large port leads, and the two behind it widen the area the cannula draws from.

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 three ports 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, and on a cannula held a particular way a fixed handle also tells the hand where the ports face. 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.

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.

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.

What it is for, and what it is not for

A cannula with a front is the right tool when direction matters. These are the jobs where another cannula of ours does the work better.

How it compares with the rest of the family

Five patterns make up this family on our site. The second column is read off our own photograph of each tip, and the last off each product’s own order form.

Materials and finish

Every pyramid 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 three ports 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 and clean all three ports from the outside. The two lateral ports sit behind the central one, so check them as carefully as the first. Dry it, steam sterilize it on the normal instrument cycle, and store it straight.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pyramid liposuction cannula used for?

It is used for body contouring, fat harvesting and fat grafting. Its central port and two lateral ports are grouped toward one face, so the surgeon can turn them away from the skin and keep the suction in the deeper fat, with the draw spread across three ports.

How much does a pyramid 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 pyramid 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, and none of them changes the price.

Is a pyramid cannula the same as a Las Vegas cannula?

The names describe the same layout: one central port nearest the tip and two lateral ports behind it. Google AI Mode uses both for this configuration, and makers list it under either. Ours is sold as the pyramid liposuction cannula.

How is a pyramid liposuction cannula different from a Mercedes?

Both have three ports. A Mercedes spaces them evenly in one ring, so it draws from every side however it is turned. A pyramid groups them toward one face, one central and two lateral, so the surgeon chooses which way the suction works.
