摘要:
A human hair implant procedure involves inserting a length of barbed surgical thread through a cannula so that a first portion including a distal end of the barbed surgical thread is near a distal end of the cannula and a second portion is outside the proximal end of the cannula, then inserting the distal end of the cannula through an entry point of the skin of the human and advancing the cannula under the skin until the proximal end of the cannula is near the entry point of the skin. Then, removing the cannula from under the skin, leaving in position under the skin the first portion of barbed surgical thread which secures a hold to tissue under the skin, and finally, attaching hair to the second portion of barbed surgical thread.

The present invention relates to a field of medical and hair transplant. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and a method for harvesting and implementing hair graft on body surface. The system includes a harvester pointer communicatively connected with the processor, wherein the processor configured to instruct the harvester pointer to trace the marked points in the first area of the body surface of the subject and harvest the hairs through plunging mechanism; and an implanter pointer connected with the trimmer and communicatively connected with the processor, wherein the processor configured to instruct the implanter pointer to catch the trimmed hair graft from the trimmer and implant the hair graft at a particular marked point in the second area of the body surface of the subject through injection mechanism.

A hair implant anchor usable with a hair implant anchor deployment device for inserting one or more hairs into a tissue portion is provided. The hair implant anchor includes a holder configured to grip one or more hairs and one or more selectably deployable leaves formed with the holder. When the anchor is in its first configuration prior to implantation of the hairs, the leaves are constrained by the deployment device in a position generally parallel to an insertion axis, and in a second configuration, subsequent to implantation of the hair, the leaves adopt a position extended away from the insertion axis, thereby securing the holder and hair gripped thereby within the tissue portion. The invention also provides a method for use of the anchor, a hair implantation system, a multi-hair implantation system and a hair implantation assembly.

Devices and methods are described for performing a procedure on multiple adjacent segments of a body surface. The methods generally involve positioning a locator device on a body surface to delineate a first body surface segment. A first portion of the locator device may be moved while leaving a second portion of the locator device in place as a reference. The second portion of the locator may then be moved to reform the locator device and delineate a second segment of the body surface. Locator devices comprising two detachable portions are also described.
摘要:
A method and device for the extraction of follicular units from a donor area on a patient. The method includes scoring the outer skin layers with a sharp punch, and then inserting a blunt punch into the incision to separate the hair follicle from the surrounding tissue and fatty layer. The method and device will significantly decrease the amount of follicular transection and increase the rate at which follicular units can be extracted.
摘要:
The method of implanting hair grafts in which implant wounds are made at sites for implanting the hair grafts and the implantation is delayed while the implant wounds are allowed a period to heal. The period for healing may be at least 18 hours after the wounds are made.
摘要:
A surgical apparatus for hair removal surgery includes an extraction module, a visualization component and a bridging component. The extraction module includes independently controllable coring and clipping devices. The visualization component acts to align a target hair follicle with the extraction module. The extraction module also includes at least one independently controllable suction port. The instrument also includes a dissection module having a tissue separating device.

The present invention relates to the field of autologous fibroblasts. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions comprising autologous fibroblasts and uses thereof to alter skin identity. In certain embodiments, volar fibroblasts can be expanded for the ability to induce volar skin at the stump site in amputees. In other embodiments, fibroblasts from haired scalp can be expanded to ameliorate alopecias.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions and methods for regulating hair growth. Specifically, the invention relates to regulating hair growth by regulating the activity one of the prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) receptors, DP-2 (GPR44). Compositions and methods for regulating hair growth include inhibiting hair growth by administering a DP-2 agonist, or stimulating hair growth by administering a DP-2 antagonist.
