Light suction is provided throughout the dissection and helps elevate the graft.

The dissected grafts can then be extracted using a hand-over-hand technique.

"The ... system is comprised of a robotic arm with extraction and site creation capabilities, a video imaging system, and a computer user interface. The extraction mechanism is a double-punch arrangement with an inner (sharp) punch and outer (dull) punch.

During extraction, the inner punch scores the upper-most part of the skin and mild suction stabilizes the skin and allows the robot to follow the movements of the patient’s head. The rotating blunt edge of the outer punch then dissects the follicular unit from the surrounding tissue. This minimizes mechanical trauma and injury to the grafts. The entire process uses image-guided technology, allowing this step to be accomplished with microscopic precision. "

le poinçon de prélèvement est bien sûr tranchant.

agree Tony M : Yes, it's not that it has lost its sharpness, but that it is specifically designed not to be sharp.
