Abstract
A system for use in implanting hair grafts in tissue and for preventing the corruption of implanted hair grafts during the implantation of further hair grafts is provided. The system includes a hair graft implanter and a template. The template has a body with an upper and lower surface and a plurality of openings therethrough each adapted to pass a transplantation catheter for implantation of a graft into the tissue. Projections or flat areas are provided on the bottom surface of the body to rest upon and cover previously transplanted grafts to hold them in position, support the tissue and thereby resist corruption thereof by the implanter's subsequent incising, dilation and transplantations of grafts through the template.
