Abstract: Apparatus and method are presented for a dermal punch for follicular unit circumferential incision. The apparatus may comprise a cylinder having an interior lumen of at least a two diameters. A cylindrical blade having a continuous cutting-edge formed thereon is shown, the cutting-edge may be in a plane normal to the central axis and may have an apex oriented in a direction away from a distal end. In another embodiment, a second right circular cylinder may surround the first and may be slidably coupled thereto. The second right circular cylinder may include a plurality of elongate members oriented toward the proximal end of the first right circular cylinder. Each of the plurality of elongate members may have an cutting-edge in a plane substantially normal to a central axis and may have an apex oriented in a direction away from the distal end.

Abstract: An off-site data entry system comprises a computer device located at a dictation station, the computer device comprising a means to accept voice dictation from a user. The device further comprises a converter means which functions to convert the voice dictation from analog to digital status, a means to compress the voice dictation, and a means to pass the digital representation of the voice dictation to a plurality of memory registers. The system also comprises a means to telephonically transmit the voice dictation to a transcription station, the transcription station that includes at least one human transcriptionist. The system then routes the voice dictation to an available transcriptionist who has the ability to buffer the voice dictation, wherein the digital representation of the dictation is addressed by software, which allows such to be delayed, rewound, and advanced while simultaneously receiving and storing additional real-time voice dictation.
