Is this the drill you talk about that youve tried and failed with. When I say fail I mean because of the drill not skills

No,
That is Rassman's device and I don't believe it will work in the real world if ever actually built.

Here are the problems with this device since I have already built and discarded this design:
1. Because the follicles are tiny, no amount of suction is powerful enough to actually grip and pull the graft out with any appreciable traction.

2. The second is that FUE practitioners acknowledge that appreciable amounts of fluid are NOT required for FUE as once breifly thought in 2004. In fact, the less fluid the better.

Rassman is a very bright and successful innovator, but this device was more of a shot in the dark in my opinion.

Can someone tell me if the patent sounds a lot like FUE2?
