Auto-circler Device (Tercan Device) For Marking A Vertical Scar Mammaplasty

It is known that the desired shape and position of the nipple-areola
complex may be difficult to achieve in vertical-scar reduction
mammaplasty.



The marking of a mosque-shaped areolar pattern varies from
one surgeon to another, and therefore, periareolar trimming or resection
may be inevitable with the use of such technique. We have developed a
device to standardize the periareolar marking, and reduce the irregularity
of the periareolar region.



This device mimics the elasticity of normal
breast tissue, and has the flexibility to be applicable to all breast
types.



We believe that this device improves the results of vertical-scar
reduction mammaplasty and can eliminate the necessity of "last-minute"
modifications intraoperatively.
