PAL Cannulas

Small variations in the number of ports, as well as their size and location on the cannula, can have a significant impact on performance and outcomes. MicroAire has developed several port configurations based on clinical studies and surgeon feedback.

Extraction – Popular for large-volume debulking and body contouring.
Harvesting – Well-suited for producing consistent lobules for fat grafting.
Specialty – PAL® reciprocation provides cannulas uses that go beyond liposuction.

LipoFilter® Fat Processing System

The LipoFilter® uses a gravity-decanting system to separate fluids from adipose tissue. Live fat cells behave much like floating balloons that rise naturally and quickly to the top; while the damaged, emulsified cells behave like leaking balloons that remain trapped in the solution for a longer time and rise slowly, if at all.

Three-liter fat harvesting and separation system
Large-volume decanting and washing
No centrifuge needed
Works with any lipo system
Sterile-packed, single-use

Product Details

LipoTower®

The LipoTower features strong, reliable pumps for both infiltration and aspiration, a touchscreen interface, an integrated PAL control system, smooth-rolling casters so it can be easily moved from room to room, and best of all: it is UL®-listed, which means it has been vigorously tested by an approved agency to meet strict rules for electronic devices.

Infiltration:

Adjustable 50 – 700ml/min infiltration pump
Footswitch or manually operated
Single-hand adjustable IV pole

Aspiration:

Powerful and quiet aspiration pump with a high flow rate of 4.2 SCFM
Adjustable vacuum pressure, up to 29 inHg
Works with any handpiece, and is also integrated for use with PAL
Aspiration on/off controlled by PAL handpiece, footswitch or console
Strong, dual-1/3HP pumps

EpiCut™

The EpiCut is an ergonomic handle featuring a v-shaped blade intended to remove strips of epithelial tissue. The curve of the blade helps control the depth of the strips so vascularity of the dermis is not compromised.
