Description

Sklar Instruments® OR Grade Freeman Areola Marker, 42MM is a reusable surgical marking instrument designed for measuring and marking the nipple-areola complex before surgical incision. The marker features a 42 mm inside diameter and a standard Freeman pattern with a central opening. This configuration assists surgeons in establishing appropriate positioning and symmetry of the nipple-areola complex during procedures involving breast tissue.

Manufactured from stainless steel, the instrument provides a durable construction suitable for repeated clinical use when properly cleaned, processed, and maintained. Its semi-sharp working edge supports controlled contact with the skin for precise marking. The instrument is supplied non-sterile and requires appropriate sterilization according to facility protocols before use in sterile procedures.

The Freeman Areola Marker is particularly associated with plastic surgery and may also be applicable in general surgery and other procedures requiring accurate anatomical marking. Its centered opening provides a consistent reference point for identifying the desired location of the nipple-areola complex. The 42 mm dimension offers a defined measurement reference during surgical planning and preparation.
