FUE hair transplant punch
A very thin cylindrical cannula with a sharp or serrated tip, used manually or motor-driven, designed to circumscribe individual follicular units of the scalp.
How it is used
Used in follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation to remove individual grafts from the donor area without requiring sutures.
Clinical tip
Punch diameter (typically 0.7-1 mm) should be matched to follicle size to minimize transection and visible scarring.
