  • Publication number: 20150012012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting hair follicle from underneath an external surface of the skin are provided. The systems may include a first member, a first fluid pathway, an inlet port and an outlet port. A portion of the first member may be configured to be moved beneath an external surface of a skin and the first member may be configured to receive tissue extracted from underneath the external surface of the skin. The inlet port may be configured to receive fluid into the first fluid pathway. The outlet port may be configured to allow fluid to exit the first fluid pathway. The first fluid pathway may be configured to allow fluid entering the fluid pathway to enter the first member at least towards a distal end of the first member, and allow the fluid to exit the first member at least towards a proximal end of the first member.
