Big Luxury Cup
- 105 mm rim — the largest cup in the range
- Suction lifts tissue; rollers only compress it
- Built for large areas and marked flaccidity
- Solid urapán (Fraxinus uhdei) — a dense hardwood that holds an edge
The Big Luxury Cup is a powerful tool designed to enhance wood therapy treatments. With its large size and ergonomic handle, this cup is easy to handle and provides excellent coverage on targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. It is used by firmly gripping the handle, positioning the cup on the desired body part, and performing cupping maneuvers.

105 mm — the widest single cup we make. Fewer passes on a back.
Indicated for
Where this tool earns its place
Not the right tool for
Arms, necks and anywhere the rim cannot sit flat. A 105 mm rim on a curved limb only touches at two points, and all the pressure goes there. Use the 75 mm cup instead. Not over bone, varicose veins, open wounds or fresh scar tissue.
- Large areasThe widest rim in the range — a back in far fewer passes.
- DrainageConcave rim lifts tissue as it glides instead of pressing into it.
- Abdomen and buttockBroad flat planes where the full rim stays in contact.
- Session lengthMore area per stroke means less fatigue across a full day of clients.
- 45 mm handleWide grip, so your hand is not clamping to keep control.
- Post-operative stagesOnly from the point the treating surgeon has cleared in writing.

Technique
How to work with it
- 01
Oil until it glides
A cup that does not glide pulls the skin. This is the one rule that matters with any cup.
- 02
Set the whole rim down
Seat it flat before you move. A tilted rim concentrates everything on one edge — the usual cause of a mark.
- 03
Long strokes toward the nodes
Groin for the legs, armpit for the back and arms. Slow — drainage is not scrubbing.
- 04
Lift, do not drag back
Break contact at the end of each stroke and reset. Working both directions undoes the direction you just gave the fluid.
Made by hand
We are the workshop, not the middleman
Every KOWÜA tool is turned on our own lathes. We select the timber, cut it, turn it, sand it through progressive grits and finish it by hand. Nothing is bought in and rebranded.
We work with urapán (Fraxinus uhdei) because it is a dense hardwood with a fine closed grain — the surface stays smooth against skin instead of raising fibres after a few washes — and because it takes pressure without splitting.
Buying direct means the price of the factory, custom laser engraving with your clinic’s name, and someone who can actually change the tool if you need a different profile.
Care
Cleaning and sanitising
Never
Do not autoclave, do not soak, do not put it in a dishwasher and do not leave it submerged in disinfectant. Wood is porous — immersion swells the fibre, raises the grain and will crack the piece.
- After each clientWipe off oil residue with a dry or barely damp cloth, while the tool is still warm.
- Disinfect70% alcohol on the surface, then let it air-dry completely.
- StoreDry and flat, away from direct heat and sun.
If the surface ever feels rough, a light pass with fine sandpaper along the grain restores it. That is the advantage of an unvarnished finish: it can be renewed, and there is no coating to chip into a client’s skin.
Before you order
Questions we get
How do I know it is the right size?
The working surface is 105 mm. Handle: 70 mm. The full specification table is above.
Can I use it on post-surgical clients?
Only with written clearance from the treating surgeon, who alone decides when a patient may progress from gentle manual lymphatic drainage to firmer tooled work. Clearance timelines vary widely between surgeons and between patients, and we publish none. Never on fresh incisions.
Does it need oil?
Yes. A dry tool on dry skin drags and bruises. Any professional massage oil works; ours are formulated to keep slip without soaking into the wood.
How long does the wood last?
With correct care — no immersion, no autoclave — solid urapán lasts years of daily clinic use. Urapán is a dense hardwood, which is why it holds a working edge instead of denting.
Will it mark the skin?
Redness and warmth during a session are expected. Bruising is not — it means too much pressure, or a tool too deep for that tissue. Treatment should never be painful.
Can I get my clinic’s name on it?
Yes. We laser-engrave logos and names from 10 pieces. See wholesale tiers and engraving.
Do you ship outside Colombia?
Yes, worldwide with tracking. For orders of 10 pieces or more we quote freight directly.
Which tool comes next?
Depends what you already have. Our wood therapy tool guide ranks every surface we make by depth and shows where each one belongs in a session.
