ABSTRACT:
A cannula is provided with a guide bar in which adjacent and overlying a hole formed in the cannula tip through which suction is applied to surgically aspirate fatty tissue is a guide surface adopted to contact and slide against the skin of a patient while the cannula tip is manually directed by the surgeon through the fatty tissue in reciprocating strokes. The guide surface maintains the tip at a constant depth within the tissue so that, upon completion of suction lipectomy, the desired amount of fatty tissue is surgically aspirated while leaving an even thickness layer of tissue intact. The guide surface includes an elevated portion spaced a greater distance from the cannula than a forward end of the guide bar having the guide surface. The elevated portion is manually engagable to permit two handed reciprocating movement of the cannula by the surgeon and to allow the surgeon to contact the patient's skin beneath the elevated portion to assist the cannula in the surgical procedure.
