The Hair Transplant Scalpel is a specialized surgical instrument used in Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) procedures to excise a strip of scalp from the donor area. This tool plays a vital role in ensuring clean and precise incisions, which are essential for the success of the graft harvesting process.

Scalpels used in hair transplantation are designed to minimize tissue trauma and promote faster healing. The blades are ultra-sharp and often disposable to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of infection. Surgeons use these scalpels to create straight or slightly curved incisions, allowing for the extraction of healthy follicular units.

Once the strip is removed, the donor site is carefully sutured, with techniques like Trichophytic Closure used to minimize scarring. The excised strip is then dissected under a microscope to isolate individual follicular units for implantation.

Patients undergoing FUT benefit from the precision offered by high-quality scalpels, as they ensure the integrity of the harvested grafts and contribute to natural-looking results. While this method is more invasive than FUE, it remains a valuable option for addressing extensive hair loss.
