    TLDR Different hair transplant tools work best in different situations; surgeons should know their tools and patient differences to improve results.
    The review article from August 2020, "Follicular Unit Excision Punches and Devices," examined various follicular unit excision (FUE) punches and devices used for hair transplantation. The authors consolidated descriptive information for each punch and device to create textual and visual guides. They concluded that no single punch shape or device suits all cases, emphasizing the importance of understanding the best uses and limitations of each. They also stressed the need for surgeons to have a comprehensive knowledge of available punch shapes and devices, skin properties, and follicular unit structure to enhance the FUE technique.
