Abstract
A follicle container includes a receptacle to hold a hair follicle extracted from skin by a follicle extractor; a conduit, coupleable with the follicle extractor, to convey the extracted hair follicle toward the receptacle; and an injector to aerosolize and inject an irrigant into the conduit while the extracted hair follicle travels toward the receptacle. By injecting an irrigant into the conduit, the extracted follicle is less likely to be damaged on its journey to the receptacle. The irrigant lubricates the interior wall of the conduit and thus reduces friction between the extracted follicle and the wall as the follicle travels in the conduit. The irrigant also washes the interior of the conduit and keeps the extracted follicle moist and flexible. Flexibility allows the follicle to more easily suffer without damage bumps with the wall of the conduit and/or other extracted follicles as the follicle travels in the conduit.
