Distal end is connected to a high-powered suction machine to remove excess adipose tissue

Length and Diameter: Variable

Infusion Cannula

AKA: Tumescent Needle

Accessory

Used to infuse hemostatic fluids into the subQ tissue before liposuction to reduce intra-op bleeding

Length: variable

Nerve Stimulator

Supply

Used where nerves are difficult to identify, especially in the neck

Needle is placed into muscle tissue and blunt end is touched to tissue that looks like a nerve, if its nerve the muscle responds to the stimulation and twitches
