TLDR Semiconical blades and coronal slits minimize vascular damage in hair transplants.
The study discussed the optimal design for recipient site slits in hair transplantation to minimize vascular damage while ensuring maximum hair density and survival. It concluded that using semiconical blades is preferable over rectangular blades and needles, as they cause less damage to the dermis and vascular plexus due to their shallower penetration. Additionally, creating slits at an acute angle further reduces penetration depth and vascular damage. Coronal slits were found to cause less vascular damage compared to sagittal slits when using blades of the same size. These recommendations aimed to optimize slit volume while minimizing harm to scalp vascularity.
