al Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Ron, I had the same question too. Frankly I do not know the answer. I imagine if the donor site comes out in narrower strips, the dissection is easier for the the techs. There might be a problem at the corners if you use the multi bladed scalpel, since it is difficult to change 3-4 lanes to one lane and taper it off at the end. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so confused The less exposure of sharps to follicles the less transection you experience. There is no reason to use multiple blades in follicular unit transplantation unless you don't have a microscope to prepare your grafts with.The block of tissue harvested with a single blade or double-bladed knife is typically slivered under a scope to preserve every follicle possible.Hope I did not confuse you more.DR.A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
