Breakthrough in Graft Implantation at annual ISHRS meeting in Denver last week
Dr. Pascal Boudjema and I established a company in 2023, to build and market medical devices that would make hair transplantation more efficient, faster for the patient and more cost effective for the surgeon. This company is called Engraft Technologies, Inc. and it introduced, last week, the DUPLEX Implanter at the annual ISHRS meeting in Denver. This should decrease the surgical time and significantly improve graft implantation both in regard to the quality of the results (because it reduces human handling of the grafts which tends to damage grafts) and the speed of implantation. This should be good news for surgeons as well as the patient, the primary beneficiary of this technology. The product will not be commercially available until the summer of 2025 as it must be mass manufactured and pass the FDA requirements for a medical device. At the meeting, the DUPLEX implanter was used by over 100 surgeons (without grafts), learning how to use it in a matter of minutes. You can see a video showing the DUPLEX Implanter and how it works HERE
Appoligies for the video not working until this afternoon 10/26/24
