HATE Grossman – Areola Marker with Cross Guide

The HATE grossman areola marker is a round nipple areola marker with a marking rim and an inner cross with a small central hole. The cross works as a centring guide, so the circle is placed exactly around the nipple and aligned with the breast axes.

What Is a Grossman Areola Marker?

Areola markers are used to draw a perfect circle of a fixed size on the breast before the areola is cut. The cross-shaped guide inside the Grossman areola marker lines up with the vertical and horizontal axes of the breast, and the central hole sits over the nipple. This makes centring quick and accurate.

Its bright orange color makes it easy to identify and tell apart from other markers on the tray.

Clinical Uses of the Grossman Areola Marker

The grossman areola marker is suitable for:

• Marking the new areola in breast reduction and mastopexy.
• Nipple-areola reconstruction planning.
• Periareolar incisions in augmentation and gynaecomastia surgery.
• Symmetry checks between both breasts.

Why Use a Centering Guide?

Even a perfect circle looks wrong if it is not centered on the nipple. The cross guide of this nipple areola marker shows at a glance whether the marker is aligned, so the circle is placed evenly on all sides and matches on both breasts. This gives a precise incision line and a natural, symmetrical result.

How to Use the Grossman Areola Marker

1. Stretch the areola evenly.
2. Place the central hole over the nipple and align the cross with the breast axes.
3. Press the marker lightly onto the skin, with marking ink on the rim if preferred.
4. Lift and check the circle before incising.
