An automatic hair implanter is capable of continuously performing hair transplantation work by applying a structure of a conventional manual hair implanter. The automatic hair implanter (hair transplantation device) comprises a rotating magazine therein, and several needle modules are stored in the magazine. Two pushrods, which are positioned on a rear portion of the device and capable of translational motion, play a role of pushing a needle and a shaft, which constitute a needle module, forward. The needle and the shaft may be moved backward by a spring positioned inside the magazine.

Modular automatic hair implanter

The present disclosure relates to a hair implanter with an automatically retracting needle, and more specifically, to a hair implanter with an automatically retracting needle configured to automatically move a needle backward by a force of a spring when the needle is moved forward to a predetermined position to allow hair transplantation work to be smoothly performed.

Hair implanter with automatically retracting needle

Disclosed is an automatic hair transplant apparatus including a needle module in which a hair follicle is inserted, a supplying case which has a magazine shape into which the needle module is inserted like a bullet of a gun, a withdrawing case which has a magazine shape into which the needle module is inserted like a bullet of a gun, and a hair transplanter on which the supplying case and the withdrawing case are mounted and which transplants hair follicles into a scalp by sequentially operating needle modules in the supplying case one by one and inserts needle modules from which hair follicles are removed into the withdrawing case.

Automatic hair transplant apparatus

Provided is an apparatus for loading a follicular unit to a needle for hair implant including a first slitless needle in which the other end of a hollow body has a wedge shape, one end of the hollow body has a tubular shape to facilitate force transmission, and an end surface of the one end is blunt, so as to be used in a transplantation region in hair transplant procedure, and a first instrument configured to push the follicular unit to an interior of the first needle to load the follicular unit to the interior of the first needle.

Apparatus for loading follicular unit into needle for hair implant

Provided is a manual follicle-transplanting hair transplanter for increasing a graft survival rate. The manual follicle-transplanting hair transplanter includes a needle member having a lower end containing a follicle to be transplanted and having a head having a larger diameter than a portion below the head at an upper end thereof, a rod member inserted into the needle member and having a push portion having a larger diameter than a portion below the push portion at an upper end thereof, an inner body configured to contain the needle member and limit downward movement of the needle member, and an outer body configured to contain the inner body and limit upward movement of the needle member. The needle member is automatically withdrawn when a compressed spring disposed in the inner body expands and pushes up a lower surface of the head.

Manual follicle-transplanting hair transplanter for increasing graft survival rate

Provided is an automatic hair transplanter for transplanting follicles including a housing having a space therein and having an aperture in a front surface, a cartridge installed behind the aperture and having a plurality of holes containing each of needle and rod assemblies, a cartridge driver configured to sequentially cause centers of the needle and rod assemblies to correspond to the center of the aperture by causing the cartridge to make a rectilinear motion or a rotary motion, a needle-and-rod assembly pressurizer configured to pressurize the back end of a needle and rod assembly whose center corresponds to the center of the aperture, and a manipulator having a switch for controlling operations of the cartridge mover and the needle-and-rod assembly pressurizer.
