Frequently Asked Questions
How is the pitanguy large flap demarcator used in abdominoplasty?
In abdominoplasty, the pitanguy large flap demarcator is positioned against the patient’s abdomen and traced with a surgical marking pen to define the inferior incision line and the superior margin of the tissue flap to be resected.
Why is the pitanguy large flap demarcator 311mm in length?
The 311mm length of the pitanguy large flap demarcator is designed to span the typical width of a full abdominoplasty incision from hip to hip in a single marking stroke, ensuring symmetric and reproducible incision planning.
