    TLDR A new tool makes hair transplant surgeries faster by creating multiple cuts in one go.
    Three years ago, a study introduced an innovative instrument designed to reduce surgical time in hair transplant procedures. The tool was developed to create multiple sagittal slits, which are parallel to the hair direction, in a single stroke. This method was found to increase precision and reduce the time needed for recipient-site creation, a crucial step in hair transplant procedures that determines the density, direction, and exit angle of the implanted hair. The instrument was versatile and could be used in bald, thinning, and vertex regions with appropriate configurations. This was a significant improvement over the traditional method of using cut-to-size knife blades, which was repetitive and time-consuming.
