The grossman areola marker 4-in-1 cookie cutter design allows surgeons to mark four standard areola diameters — 40, 44, 48, and 52mm — using a single instrument. This eliminates the need for multiple individual markers, ensuring consistent symmetrical areola positioning during breast surgery planning.
Key Features
- 4-in-1 Design: Marks 40mm, 44mm, 48mm, and 52mm diameter circles
- Cookie Cutter Style: Press-imprint technique for precise, symmetrical marking
- Single Instrument: Replaces four individual circular markers
- Sharp Cutting Edge: Clean skin impression without ink bleeding
- Stainless Steel Construction: Fully autoclavable and reusable
Clinical Use
The grossman areola marker is used in breast augmentation, breast reduction, mastopexy, and breast reconstruction procedures requiring precise areola repositioning. The four nested circle sizes provide standardized options matching common areola diameter targets for aesthetic breast surgery.
Construction & Care
The grossman areola marker is constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel with four concentric cutting rings at 40, 44, 48, and 52mm diameters. The instrument is autoclavable and reusable for repeated sterilization. Clean thoroughly after each use to remove residual tissue or marking ink before sterilization.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the grossman areola marker work?
The grossman areola marker is pressed against the breast skin to imprint four concentric circles at 40, 44, 48, and 52mm diameters, allowing the surgeon to select and ink the desired areola size for the procedure.
Which diameter is most commonly used with the grossman areola marker?
The 44mm and 48mm diameters are most frequently selected for mastopexy and reduction cases, while 40mm suits smaller frame patients and 52mm is used when larger areola preservation is desired.
