The Donor Strip is a key component of the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, involving the removal of a section of scalp from the donor area to harvest hair follicles for transplantation. This technique is ideal for patients needing a large number of grafts in a single session.

The donor strip is typically taken from the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is denser and more resistant to hair loss. Surgeons use precision tools to minimize damage to the surrounding tissue and preserve the integrity of the harvested follicles.

After removal, the donor area is sutured using advanced techniques like Trichophytic Closure, which reduces scarring and allows hair to grow through the incision line. The harvested strip is then dissected under a microscope to isolate individual follicular units for transplantation.

Proper care of the donor area during recovery is essential for optimal healing and aesthetic outcomes. Patients benefit from the efficiency and effectiveness of the Donor Strip method, especially in cases requiring extensive coverage.
