Frequently asked questions
What types of plastic surgery procedures is the VivAer Stylus designed to assist with, and how does its stylus tip help in those procedures?
The VivAer Stylus is specifically designed for use in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures. Its stylus tip provides precise tissue manipulation and shaping, which aids in contouring and sculpting during surgeries. This level of control is particularly useful for creating smooth, natural-looking results in procedures such as liposuction, fat grafting, or tissue reshaping.
Is the VivAer Stylus reusable, or is it intended for single-use only? How does this impact its use in a clinical setting?
The VivAer Stylus is supplied sterile and explicitly intended for single-use only. This design ensures patient safety by eliminating the risk of cross-contamination between procedures, which is critical in sterile surgical environments. Clinicians should follow standard single-use protocols, including proper disposal after one use.
What storage conditions should be followed for the VivAer Stylus to maintain its sterility and performance?
Since the VivAer Stylus is supplied sterile, it should be stored in its original, unopened packaging until ready for use. The packaging is designed to protect the device from contamination and damage. Once opened, the device must be used immediately and disposed of after a single procedure to preserve sterility and prevent reuse-related risks.
Can the VivAer Stylus be used in an MRI environment, or is it restricted to non-MRI settings?
The VivAer Stylus is explicitly non-magnetic and intended for use only in non-MRI environments. This restriction is due to potential interference or safety risks if the device were exposed to magnetic fields, which could compromise imaging accuracy or patient safety during MRI procedures.
