Abstract: Removably located within an elongated epithelium-lined tract, or tunnel, surgically formed in the subcutaneous layer of the wearer's scalp is the elongated subdermal portion of a scalp anchor. The anchor includes an external portion attachable to a hairpiece. A plurality of such anchors securely yet removably retains the hairpiece in the desired position on the scalp.A web at the junction of the subdermal and external portions enhances the wearer's comfort by reducing the unit pressure on the adjacent end of the tract in the event that force is exerted against the anchor by the hairpiece; and for hygienic reasons the web is constructed so as to provide channels for the circulation of air in the subdermal tract.
