Description

The McKissock Keyhole Breast Reduction Marker is designed to help mark the area and amount of tissue planned for removal during breast reduction procedures. Its large circular ring forms the central marking guide, while the two long arms extend outward and provide graduated references for more controlled marking.

The marker is available in 38 mm, 42 mm, and 45 mm diameters. These sizes allow the appropriate circular opening to be selected according to the marking required for the procedure. The ring sits around the area being marked, giving the surgeon a defined reference before the tissue-removal lines are drawn.

The two arms are graduated in centimeters, which is an important part of the design. Rather than relying only on the circular opening, the graduations provide measurements along the arms when marking the amount of tissue to be removed. This gives the user a more consistent reference while planning the markings.

The instrument is intended to be used together with the Freeman Marker. The keyhole-shaped arrangement combines the circular marking area with the measured arms, allowing the marking process to be carried out with a clear relationship between the central opening and the surrounding tissue. The long arms also make the graduations easy to read while the marker is positioned.

The circular ring has a smooth, open centre, while the ends of the arms turn upward slightly to form small working points. The lightweight-looking frame keeps the marker relatively simple to position, and the long handles provide space for holding and adjusting it over the operative area.

The instrument has a metal construction intended for professional surgical use and repeated reprocessing. Each marker should be carefully checked before use, including the circular ring, graduated arms, end points, and overall alignment. The graduations should remain clear and the frame should be free from bending or distortion that could affect accurate marking.

The McKissock Keyhole Breast Reduction Marker provides a circular marking guide with graduated arms for planning tissue removal during breast reduction procedures.
