Consumable economics

Consumable economics: InMode Morpheus8 vs Cytrellis Biosystems ellacor
Attribute	InMode Morpheus8	Cytrellis Biosystems ellacor
Consumable cost / lock-in	RFID single-use tips are the per-treatment cost: 12-pin Prime, 24-pin, 40-pin Body and the T-tip (K200947, K231790). A consumables-support dealer sheet lists Prime/resurfacing tips at $125, 24-pin at $100 and Body at $155 in boxes of four — dealer / secondary-market asking prices (Aug 2026), not InMode list pricing. Genuine tips are locked to your InMode account and an aftermarket exists. InMode does not publish list tip pricing — get it in writing before modeling margin.	Treatment uses single-use micro-coring needle tips. No source fetched in this pass prices them, so no figure is stated. The device is not consumable-free by design, and the tip is likely the largest variable cost in this category.
