Regular Member cforce1 Posted January 12, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 Quick question to anyone knowledgeable..how many grafts can fit per lateral slit? For example, if the doctor makes 3500 slits in your head can you for 5000+ grafts.... or if you make 3500 slits can you only place 3500 grafts?

Senior Member rev333 Posted January 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) i would think only one graft per slit otherwise the slit would have to be made larger to accommodate more but each graft may have 1-4 hairs Edited January 14, 2014 by rev333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cforce1 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2014 Are you sure because I counted 4000 slits while he was doing it and he told me I have 5300 grafts..hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted January 13, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2014 One slit can hold two grafts.To clarify, if there are a lot of singles once all the grafts are harvested and dissected two singles can be placed into the same slit to add density where normally a two hair graft would be placed. I hope this makes sense.

Regular Member cforce1 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yea he gave me a counter to track every 100 slits..not under sedation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted January 15, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2014 It depends on the size of the slits made for each incision. The bigger incisions can hold multiple grafts. Did you ask about the disparity in the #of incisons versus the # of grafts?
