Sklar Ackermann Areola Marker, 2 Sizes

The Sklar Ackermann Areola Marker is a surgical marking instrument used to outline the intended position and size of the areola before breast surgery such as reduction mammoplasty, mastopexy or reconstructive procedures. Pressing the marker gently against the skin leaves a temporary impression that guides the surgeon's incision and repositioning of the areola, helping achieve a symmetrical and predictable result on both sides.

This listing offers the marker in two sizes, 5 1/2 inches and 6 1/4 inches overall, corresponding to different marking head diameters that let the surgeon match the marker to the planned areola size for that patient. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons performing breast procedures use an areola marker as a standard planning tool immediately before the procedure begins, marking the skin while the patient is positioned and before any incision is made.

As a reusable stainless surgical instrument, it is cleaned and sterilised between cases and kept in the breast surgery instrument set.
