Body Contouring

PAL® by MicroAire is an innovative solution to the standard Liposuction procedure. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is a surgical method that can help reduce unwanted fat in areas of the body resistant to diet and exercise.

Infiltration System

The PAL® Infiltration Pump integrates with the PAL® System to activate the peristaltic pump from the PAL-650 Handpiece. Custom electronic controls ensure consistent flow at low speeds and a cooling fan prevents overheating of the motor from heavy use. PAL® Infiltration Tubing eliminates obstructions with a large-bore design and smooth connections.

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 debulking and body contouring.
Harvesting – Well-suited for consistent fat grafting lobules.
Specialty – PAL® reciprocation provides cannulas uses that go beyond liposuction.
High Definition (HD) – Ideal for sculpting the superficial fat layer.

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

LipoTower®

The LipoTower is a UL-listed surgical cart designed to be used for tumescent liposuction.

The device features quiet, yet powerful, dual pumps for aspiration and a peristaltic infiltration pump with an adjustable flow rate. A rear-mounted I.V. pole holds tumescent solution bags and the centrally located canister rack can accommodate up to four canisters.

The control panel features a touchscreen interface that displays vacuum pressure at eye level for easier visibility. The on|off function of the vacuum can be controlled by a foot pedal or (when paired with a PAL® System) controlled by the throttle switch of the PAL handpiece.
