A Practical Guide to Hair Graft Placement Using the Sharp Implanter Method

The document provides a detailed guide on the sharp implanter method for hair graft placement, a technique that involves loading hair follicles into a needle, puncturing the skin, and leaving the graft within the incision. This method is simpler, faster, and less risky than forceps methods, but requires significant experience and can be challenging for patients prone to bleeding. The guide outlines techniques to improve the procedure, such as the three-finger grip, vertical rectilinear movement, an efficient circulating system, and controlling the angle, direction, and depth of insertion. It also emphasizes the importance of team effort, continuous education, and flexibility in implantation methods. The sharp implanter method can insert 50 to 60 grafts per square centimeter without causing graft popping or impairing graft survival, leading to natural results.
