Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted November 8, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 8, 2021 In this short video we discuss Dr. Beehner's small study showing increased survival with non-cold storage of grafts. While its a small study, I applaud him for questioning the status quo. Ultimately, getting the case done efficiently, without traumatizing the roots, and graft out of body time under 6 hours, are likely the most important factors in hair survival for most non-smoking patients. It'll be interesting to see if further research adds to this finding. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA The video is: William H.

Senior Member kirkland Posted November 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 8, 2021 Dr. Lindsey mentions his wife is a cardiologist and it makes sense that slowing the metabolism through cooling preserves tissue/organ integrity. Could it be that since follicles are small organs, they are more susceptible to extreme environments, even for a short duration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
