  • Patent number: 4103365
    Abstract: A method of implanting synthetic hair fibers in a person's scalp using a medical suturing needle attached to either one or a plurality of medically inert synthetic hair fibers having knots tied in the length of fiber at intervals of about ten inches. The fiber is threaded in serpentine fashion through a person's scalp below the skin where the knots are left in the third skin layer. The loops formed by the fibers above the skin are subsequently cut at their approximate center and/or the end proximate the needle so that the resultant appearance is that of a normal head of hair. The skin heals about the implanted fiber and holds it in place.
