An alternative way of graft cutting

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The excised strip is placed on a block of birchwood and sectioned into smaller segments using a no. 20 scalpel blade, with careful positioning of the blade between and at the same angle as the visible hair follicles (Fig. 4). With the same blade, each segment is then cut again into follicular units. Grafts are closely trimmed to eliminate all unneeded dermis and subcutaneous tissue, thereby providing very clean and neatly trimmed grafts. Clean and closely trimmed grafts allow for implantation in a greater density than grafts that are allowed to carry with them all surrounding dermis. Fig. 4. Graft cutting on a wood block
