FUE Hair Transplantation: The Tool Makes the Difference

You may have seen recent media reports that have erroneously talked about a "new" hair transplant procedure called Neograft. The fact is, Neograft is not a new procedure, it is a surgical tool that assists a surgeon in performing the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. Currently, there are two different popular medical instruments that can be used independently to perform this function during a FUE procedure: The S.A.F.E. Scribe and Neograft. So what's the difference? Which offers the most advantage to the patient?

First of all, a little background. FUE has become the "gold standard" of surgical hair transplantation. The procedure's graft-by-graft harvest/plantation technique means less patient discomfort, faster recovery time and virtually no scarring. NHC was the first to offer this surgical breakthrough in Arizona several years ago.

The NHC Surgical team, led by Chief of Surgery Dr. Barry Weiss, M.D., carefully researched independently both the S.A.F.E. Scribe and Neograft under surgical conditions. The NHC team performed FUE procedures with both the S.A.F.E. Scribe and the Neograft. Both devices were carefully and rigorously evaluated under exacting conditions. After this "hands-on" evaluation of both, the NHC transplant team chose to exclusively utilize the S.A.F.E. Scribe for FUE procedures because of numerous patient advantages.

Foremost, the S.A.F.E. Scribe has a higher graft yield. "That means virtually every hair graft is undamaged and will thrive and grow to maturity after it is transplanted," said Dave McKenna, NHC Image Consultant and FUE patient. One reason for the unprecedented yield is because of its unique method of how the grafts are harvested. Neograft pulls all grafts at the beginning of the procedure, requiring the grafts to sit potentially for hours in a man-made storage solution. The S.A.F.E. Scribe, on the other hand, allows the surgeon the ability to scribe each graft as it is needed for plantation in the balding area. "This allows us to harvest the graft in a more natural and safe manner," said Dave.

Also, the compact and ergonomic design of the S.A.F.E. Scribe makes it easier and more efficient for the surgeon to use throughout the procedure. In addition, the S.A.F.E. Scribe has no complicated technology to break down, leaving the patient and surgical team stranded. For more information on FUE's, the S.A.F.E.
