Contouring Pro Board

Woodtherapy · Drainage
Smooth edges, because the last phase of a session should never mark.
Deep work releases fluid. If you stop there, it sits. This board is the finisher — a flared head with rounded edges that moves fluid toward the nodes without adding more trauma to tissue you just worked.
Cut by hand from a single piece of urapán.

Smooth edges, because the last phase of a session should never mark
Indicated for
Where this tool earns its place
Not the right tool for
Deep work or fibrosis. There is no edge and no bite by design — if you need to work the tissue, use a ribbed or cubed tool first and come back to this one.
- Lymphatic drainageSmooth edges move fluid without adding trauma.
- Session finisherThe last tool, after everything deeper has been done.
- AbdomenThe 160 mm head covers it in few strokes, toward the inguinal nodes.
- Post-operativeOnly from the stage the treating surgeon has cleared in writing.
- Sensitive clientsWhen tolerance is low but the area still needs to be moved.
- Between sessionsLight maintenance work that will not mark before an event.

Technique
How to work with it
- 01
Light oil is enough
Smooth edges need less slip than ribbed ones. Too much and the board skates without contact.
- 02
Flat contact
Lay the head flat. Tipping it onto an edge turns a drainage tool into a scraping one.
- 03
Slow and toward the nodes
Lymph moves slowly. Long, unhurried strokes in one direction beat fast repetition.
- 04
Repeat, do not press
If it is not moving, add passes, not pressure. Force is the opposite of what drainage needs.

Made by hand
We are the workshop, not the middleman
Every KOWÜA tool is cut and finished in our own workshop. We select the timber, cut it, shape it, sand it through progressive grits and finish it by hand. Nothing is bought in and rebranded.
On a drainage board the finish is the product. There is no bite to hide behind — if the edge is not perfectly rounded and the face perfectly smooth, the client feels it immediately. This one gets the longest sanding of anything we make.
Buying direct means you get 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. A flat board warps first.
- After each clientWipe both faces and the full edge with a dry or barely damp cloth.
- Disinfect70% alcohol on the surface, then let it air-dry completely.
- StoreFlat and dry, never leaning. Away from direct heat and sun.
This is the tool where a rough patch matters most. A light pass with fine sandpaper along the grain restores it — and because there is no varnish, there is nothing to chip into a client's skin.
Before you order
Questions we get
How do I know it is the right size?
250 mm long by 160 mm wide — it fits in the palm with the flared head extending past your hand. Sized to cover the abdomen in few strokes without being unwieldy on an arm.
Why does it have no ribs or edges?
Because it is not meant to break anything down. Drainage moves fluid, and anything with bite adds trauma to tissue you have just worked. Smooth is the specification, not an omission.
When in the session do I use it?
Last. After the rollers, the cups and anything deep. Its whole purpose is to carry away what the earlier phases released.
Can I use it on post-surgical clients?
Yes, and often earlier than other tools — gentle drainage is usually permitted well before deep mechanical work. Follow your protocol and never work over incisions.
Can I get my clinic's name on it?
Yes. The flat face takes engraving particularly well. From 10 pieces. See wholesale tiers and engraving.
Do you ship outside Colombia?
Yes, worldwide with tracking, and shipping is free on orders over $350 with duties included. For orders of 10 pieces or more we quote freight directly.
I am buying for a training academy. Is there a better route?
Yes — academies usually order the same reference in volume, which puts you in a wholesale tier straight away, with engraving included from 30 pieces. Request a quote.
