Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9636290A1] A system for transplanting hair grafts from a donor region of a patient's scalp to a recipient region of the patient's scalp. The system includes harvesting N (N >/= 1) strips of skin containing living hair follicles from the donor region, while cutting the strips into hair grafts simultaneously. The system also includes loading the hair grafts sequentially, bottom down, into a removable cartridge (53) connected to an instrument (65) for implanting the grafts (54, 59 and 60), the hair grafts being loaded so as to create an air seal between the hair grafts and the cartridge. The hair grafts are implanted one at a time by first feeding a hair graft to a predetermined position in the instrument, secondly making an incision in the recipient region with a cutting device (72), and thirdly sliding the hair graft into the incision.
