What a three holes diagonal liposuction cannula is
A three holes diagonal liposuction cannula has three ports, like a Mercedes, but it does not put them in a ring. They are stepped along the tip on a diagonal, each one a little further back and a little further round than the last. It is also called a three port diagonal cannula, which describes the same thing.
The point of the diagonal is length. A ring of three ports draws from one short band of the shaft. Three ports set one after another along a diagonal draw from a longer stretch of it, and still from more than one side. Google AI Mode describes the pattern in those terms, as a way to spread suction over a broader surface during harvesting and debulking.
This listing is one of the few in our range with no size or hub choice on it. Where a size table would normally go, this page lists what we need to know from you instead.
Key design features
Three ports on a diagonal
The three holes sit along the tip one behind the other, each turned a little around the shaft. Our own photograph of this cannula shows the stepped arrangement from the side. A diagonal port liposuction cannula spreads its openings in this way so that no single short band of the shaft carries all of the suction.
A closed, rounded tip
The end is closed and rounded, the usual shape for an aspiration cannula. It leads the shaft through the fat, and the three ports behind it do the work of drawing tissue in.
No size or hub on the listing
Every other cannula in this family has an order form for its diameter, its length and its hub. This one does not. Tell us what you need in the order note or in a message before it ships. We would rather ask than guess.
One price
The listing is 32 dollars. With no hub choice there is no hub price on top, which is the one way this cannula is simpler to buy than its siblings. For a hospital order or a distributor line, ask us for a quantity price.
What to tell us when you order
There is no size table on this page because the listing has no sizes on it. The table below is what we need to know instead. The last column shows what the other four cannulas in this family are made in, for reference only; it is not a promise about this one.
| What to tell us | Why we ask | What the rest of this family is made in |
|---|---|---|
| The diameter | This listing has no diameter choice | 2 to 5 mm across the other four patterns |
| The length | This listing has no length choice | 15 to 35 cm across the other four patterns |
| The hub or handle | This listing has no hub choice | Up to seven: super fix handle A or B, aluminum or steel Luer lock, super Luer lock, Toomey hub, threaded fitting |
| How many | Quantity orders are priced separately | Any quantity, from one for a tray |
Where it is used
The Google AI Mode answer read on 21 October 2026 names these uses for the diagonal pattern, and the areas body contouring usually covers. They are its words, not our measurements.
| Use | Areas named | Why the diagonal helps |
|---|---|---|
| Fat harvesting | Donor areas such as the abdomen and thighs | Suction spread along the shaft rather than at one band |
| Debulking | The abdomen, thighs and flanks | Three ports working over a longer stretch on each pass |
| Even extraction over broad surfaces | Larger flat areas | More than one side drawing, without a full ring |
What it is for, and what it is not for
A three port pattern can look like it does everything. These are the jobs where another cannula of ours is the better choice.
| Job | Use this cannula? | What to use instead |
|---|---|---|
| Harvesting and debulking over a broad area | Yes | This is the job it is made for |
| Suction from every side in one short band | No | A Mercedes, with three ports in one ring |
| Suction aimed away from the skin | No | The two lateral one central hole pattern |
| 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. Three of them spread ports in rings, one groups them toward one face, and this one steps them along a diagonal.
| Pattern | What the tip carries, as the trade uses the name | What that is for | On our order form |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes | three ports in one ring around the tip | the general pattern for debulking and for harvesting | 2 to 5 mm, 15 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
| Double Mercedes | two rings of three, six ports | more open area per pass on larger volumes | 3 to 5 mm, 25 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
| Triple Mercedes | three rings of three, nine ports | the most open area in the family | 2.4 to 5 mm, 20 to 35 cm, 5 hub styles |
| Two lateral, one central hole | one central port with a lateral port either side of it | ports that can be turned away from the skin | 2.4 to 5 mm, 15 to 35 cm, 7 hub styles |
| Three holes diagonal (this page) | three ports stepped along and around the tip | suction spread over a longer stretch of the shaft | no size or hub choice on the listing, so tell us both when you order |
Materials and finish
Every three holes diagonal 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 one after another along a diagonal, and their edges are what tissue passes over on the way in. The shaft is straight. The hub or handle at the back end is whichever one you ask for, and it changes how the cannula connects, not anything about the tip.
Caring for it
Flush it as soon as it comes out of use, then brush the full length of the lumen. The diagonal puts the three ports at different distances from the tip, so clean each one from the outside rather than trusting the brush to reach all three. Dry it, steam sterilize it on the normal instrument cycle, and store it straight.
Ordering and wholesale
The three holes diagonal liposuction cannula is made by Adas Instruments in our own workshop and sold direct, which is why the price sits where it does against the catalog houses. Order one for a single tray, or in quantity for a hospital list or a distributor line. We do OEM work under your own brand and your own item numbers. Send us a sample and we will hold a run to your pattern rather than ours. Stock items ship from our own workshop. Backorder items take 10 to 12 working days to make. Every instrument carries a three year replacement warranty against manufacturing defects. Production is controlled under an ISO 13485 quality management system.
Frequently asked questions
What is a three holes diagonal liposuction cannula used for?
It is used for fat harvesting and debulking in body contouring. Its three ports are stepped along and around the tip on a diagonal, so suction is spread over a longer stretch of the shaft than a single ring of ports covers, which is why it is described as a cannula for even extraction over broad areas.
How much does a three holes diagonal liposuction cannula cost?
It is 32 dollars on this listing. There is no hub choice, so no hub price is added on top. Every cannula carries our three year replacement warranty against manufacturing defects, and quantity orders for a hospital or a distributor are priced separately on request.
What size does it come in?
The listing does not offer a size choice, so no size is printed here. Tell us the diameter and length you need in the order note or in a message. For reference, the other cannulas in this family are made from 2 to 5 mm and from 15 to 35 cm.
How is the diagonal pattern different from a Mercedes?
Both have three ports. A Mercedes puts them in one ring around the tip, so they draw from every side within one short band. The diagonal steps them one behind the other and a little further round each time, so the suction is spread along a longer stretch of the shaft as well as around it.
Which hub does a three holes diagonal liposuction cannula come with?
The listing does not say, and we would rather you told us than guessed. The other cannulas in this family are made with up to seven back ends: a super fix handle in style A or B, an aluminum or steel Luer lock, a super Luer lock, a Toomey hub or a threaded fitting.
