Ackermann Breast Marker

Description

Ackermann Breast Marker

The Ackermann breast marker helps plan cuts in breast reduction and lift. Its handled design lets the surgeon mark points on the skin with control.

Two lengths

We offer 14 cm and 16 cm. Pick 14 cm for fine work near the areola. By contrast, 16 cm spans the chest with less reach from the shoulder.

Why the Ackermann breast marker

Planning decides the final shape. Also, a dedicated marker makes points repeatable. So both sides end up matching.

Typical use

Surgeons use it before reduction and lift surgery. It also helps in revision planning. Additionally, many trays carry both lengths.

Technique

Mark the midline and fold first. Then use the marker to set key points. Check distances before the first cut.

Pairing

Combine it with a ruler, areola marker and skin pen. Together they produce a full plan. Then the team follows it during surgery.

Reading the marks

Each point on the skin links to a planned measurement. For example, the nipple position, the vertical limbs and the fold line all come from these marks. Afterwards, the team checks them again before the first cut.

How we look after the marker

Your standing warranty covering this marker runs three years against manufacturing defects on each piece. Before it ships, our Atlanta inspector examines the Ackermann marker in detail. Similar pieces appear in the general surgical collection. Some teams add our McKissock marker. Larger theaters hold a backup marker to avoid delays. The customer FAQ goes over common order questions. The FDA lists ASTM F899 under instrument-grade stainless.
