Keller Funnels:

During plastic surgery, not only the experience of the surgeon and the quality of the implants are important, but also the technologies and consumables used at each stage of the intervention.

One such solution is the Keller Funnel, which allows for the placement of silicone implants using the No-Touch technique. Thanks to it, the implant is introduced smoothly and safely, minimizing contact with the hands of the surgical team, the edges of the incision, and surrounding tissues.

KIM MEDICAL is the only official distributor of Keller Funnels in Ukraine. We provide the supply of original products and help medical institutions gain access to modern solutions for plastic surgery.




What is the Keller Funnel and what is it used for?

The Keller Funnel is a special flexible sterile device in the shape of a pastry bag, designed for the introduction of a silicone implant into the prepared surgical pocket.

Its use allows for the abandonment of the traditional method of implant placement directly by hand. Instead, the implant passes through a special funnel, significantly reducing the number of contacts with potential sources of contamination and allowing for a smaller surgical incision.

The technology is particularly relevant during:

  • breast augmentation with silicone implants;
  • buttock augmentation;
  • calf augmentation;
  • chest muscle augmentation using gel implants.




No-Touch Technology: less contact — more focus on safety

One of the main advantages of the Keller Funnel is the ability to apply the No-Touch technique (contactless technique). During traditional implant placement, the surgeon directly contacts the implant with their hands in sterile gloves. The use of a special funnel minimizes such manipulations.


Why is this important?

1. Minimization of contamination risk

The fewer direct contacts the implant has with hands, tissues, and the edges of the surgical incision, the fewer potential pathways for microorganisms to enter the surgical pocket. This is especially important for reducing the risks of infectious complications and capsular contracture. At the same time, the use of the funnel does not completely eliminate these risks.

2. Preservation of sterility

The sterile funnel is an additional element in organizing a safe surgical process. Its use helps adhere to the principles of asepsis and minimizes the number of contacts the implant has with the surrounding environment.

3. Careful handling of the implant

The special design of the funnel ensures smooth passage of the implant into the prepared pocket and reduces the need for direct mechanical impact on its shell.

4. Possibility of a smaller surgical incision

The use of the funnel may allow for the implant to be placed through a smaller incision compared to traditional techniques. The final length of the incision depends on the type and size of the implant, the anatomical features of the patient, and the surgical tactics.

How to find out if a Keller Funnel will be used during your surgery?

If you are planning breast augmentation or another surgery involving the placement of silicone implants, do not hesitate to discuss with your surgeon not only the choice of implant but also the method of its placement. Be sure to ask your doctor: will they use a sterile Keller Funnel during your surgery? This simple question will help you better understand what technologies and materials will be used during the intervention.
