 Dr. Pozner and the Sanctuary Plastic Surgery Center are now using the Keller Funnel™ for breast augmentation procedures involving silicone gel implants. The Keller Funnel™ is a device designed by plastic surgeon Kevin Keller, M.D., to help improve the silicone breast augmentation procedure for both the surgeon and patient. Before the Keller Funnel™ arrived, surgeons would have to poke or push the pre-filled implant through an incision by hand. This method had its disadvantages because the force required to insert the implant could increase the risk of bruising and weaken the implant shell. Now, with the use of the Keller Funnel™, the insertion process is much gentler and offers the opportunity for smaller incisions.
How does it work?
The cone-shaped design of the Keller Funnel™ offers a no-touch delivery technique. First, the tip of the device is placed through the incision in the breast. Once the device is in place, the surgeon quickly yet gently propels the implant into place with minimal force. The Keller Funnel™ is made of nylon with a special inner coating that creates a slick surface for delivery of the implant. The implant never comes into contact with the skin.
What are the benefits of using the Keller Funnel™?
The design of the Keller Funnel™ allows surgeons to reduce incision lengths. Because of the ease and precision of the delivery of the implant with the Keller Funnel™, the options for placement are increased. These factors benefit patients (especially those who scar easily) because there is greater opportunity to conceal incisions.
The Keller Funnel™ can also reduce the risk of complications for patients by minimizing the potential for implant damage. Results from a study conducted by Keller Medical Inc. show that the Keller Funnel™ uses less force than traditional silicone gel implant delivery. There will be a reduced amount of stress put on the implant by using a less forceful method of insertion, which reduces the risk of complications commonly associated with mishandled implants.
