Mushroom Cup
- 170 mm tall, 90 mm cup at one end
- Cup for suction, five pegs for point work
- Two techniques without changing tool
- Solid urapán (Fraxinus uhdei) — a dense hardwood that holds an edge
- The mushroom cup is a two in one tool that combats constraining in lymph nodes and bad micro circulation. Also, thanks to the mushroom end, prevents bruises and can reduce swelling in small areas.

Indicated for
Where this tool earns its place
Not the right tool for
The face, and any area where you would not want either end used. Two functions means two sets of contraindications, not fewer. Not over bone, varicose veins, open wounds or fresh scar tissue.
- Two functions90 mm cup for drainage, five-peg head for kneading — without changing tools.
- Compact protocolsFewer tools on the trolley, less cleaning between clients.
- Mobile professionalsOne piece covers two phases of a session.
- Abdomen and thighWhere you routinely alternate between the two movements.
- 45 mm peg headSmall enough to work an arm the cup end cannot sit on.
- Post-operative stagesOnly from the point the treating surgeon has cleared in writing.

Technique
How to work with it
- 01
Pegs first, cup second
Knead to mobilise, then drain what you released. Reversing the order wastes both ends.
- 02
Pegs press and lift
Set down, take weight, release, step along. Do not drag the pegs under pressure.
- 03
Turn it over and glide
Re-oil, seat the whole rim, long slow strokes toward the nearest nodes.
- 04
Clean both ends
The peg head collects oil between the pegs. It is the part people forget.
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 90 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.
