Abstract: A sterile needle with a trailing plastic tube receives telescopically and frictionally within the trailing tube a metal implant bushing sheathed in tissue compatible silicone rubber. A double headed wire extends through and beyone one end of the implant bushing. When the needle and trailing tubing are passed through the scalp for a sufficient distance to implant the silicone rubber sheathed bushing, the headed wire is held against movement of the bushing while the trailing tube is pulled off of the implanted bushing and separated from the scalp. A curved adapter needle may be employed in the initial penetration of the scalp. The silicone rubber sheathed bushing may be wired with or without a top bar for hair piece attachment.
