What a two hole liposuction cannula is
A two hole liposuction cannula is a steel tube with a closed, rounded end and two ports cut through its side. Google AI Mode, read on 21 October 2026, calls it a two port liposuction cannula or a 2 port aspiration cannula, and it is also called a double hole liposuction cannula. All three names mean the same tip.
Two hole cannulas come in two layouts. In one, the holes sit in line, one behind the other on the same side of the shaft. In the other, they face opposite ways. Ours is the in line kind: our own photograph of this cannula shows two elongated ports one after the other on one side. That keeps the suction facing one direction while giving it a longer stretch of shaft to work along than a single port.
The AI Mode answer puts the pattern between the one hole and the three port patterns such as the Mercedes, and names small volume harvesting and delicate balancing as the jobs it suits. That matches where it sits in our range.
Key design features
Two ports in line
The two ports are set one behind the other on the same side of the shaft, each an elongated slot. Because they face the same way, the surgeon still steers the suction by turning the handle, as with a one hole, but the draw is spread over two ports instead of one.
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 two 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. 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.
| 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, not our measurements. The last column is ours.
| Use | Areas named | Where our sizes fit |
|---|---|---|
| Small volume fat harvesting | Donor areas, taken in modest amounts | 2.4 and 3 mm, on a Toomey hub or a Luer lock syringe |
| Delicate balancing and contouring | Finishing passes after the bulk is out | 2 and 2.4 mm, 15 to 25 cm |
| Body contouring | The face and neck in the smaller sizes, the body in the larger | 3, 4 and 5 mm, 20 to 35 cm |
| Fluid infiltration | Named in the answer as a second use | Ours is listed for aspiration; for infiltration see the table below |
What it is for, and what it is not for
Two in line ports give a little more draw than one without giving up direction. These are the jobs where another cannula of ours does the work better.
| Job | Use this cannula? | What to use instead |
|---|---|---|
| Small volume harvesting and balancing | Yes | This is the job it is made for |
| Large volume removal | Slowly | A Mercedes or a triple Mercedes, with more ports |
| Suction from every side at once | No | A Mercedes, with three ports in one ring |
| Infusing tumescent fluid | No | An infiltration cannula, from our tumescent infiltration range |
| A handle fixed to the shaft | Not this listing | Our two hole fix handle cannula |
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.
| 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 (this page) | 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 | 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 two hole 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 two ports are cut through the wall of the tube one behind the other, 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 both ports from the outside. The second port sits further back, so check it as carefully as the first. Dry it, steam sterilize it on the normal instrument cycle, and store it straight so the shaft keeps running true.
Ordering and wholesale
The two hole 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.

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 two hole liposuction cannula used for?
It is used for fat harvesting and body contouring, and it suits small volume harvesting and the balancing passes at the end of a case. Its two ports sit in line on one side, so the suction faces one way and the surgeon steers it by turning the handle.
How much does a two hole 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 a two hole 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.
Are the two holes in line or on opposite sides?
On ours they are in line, one behind the other on the same side of the shaft, as our photograph of this cannula shows. Some makers set the two holes facing opposite ways so the cannula draws from two sides. That is a different tip, and it is not this listing.
How is a two hole liposuction cannula different from a three hole?
A three hole adds a third port to the same in line row, so more of the shaft draws on each stroke along one plane. A two hole is the gentler of the two. Our two hole has an order form with eighteen sizes; our three hole listing has no size choice, so its size is agreed when you order.
