  • Publication number: 20240374370
    Abstract: A handling device for hair transplantation operations and the surgical procedure with which to operate is provided. The device includes a main body provided with incision elements and with explantation and implantation elements for the transplantation of at least one follicular unit from the scalp of a patient to a tissue to be treated, and an analysis and verification portion associated with the main body proximate to the explantation and implantation elements and adapted to contain the follicular unit. Image acquisition elements are provided for the acquisition of images of the contents of the analysis and verification portion. The image acquisition elements are functionally associated with at least one screen for displaying the images on an enlarged scale showing the contents of the analysis and verification portion so as to examine and verify the properties of the follicular unit directly from the analysis and verification portion before its implantation.

  • Publication number: 20240358395
    Abstract: A handling device is provided for hair transplantation operations. The device includes a main body provided with incision elements and with explantation and implantation elements for the transplantation of at least one follicular unit from the scalp of a patient to a tissue to be treated. The main body includes at least one distal section and at least one proximal section which are detachably mutually associated. The proximal section encloses drive elements inside which are associated with the incision elements and with the explantation and implantation means for their functional movement. The incision elements and the explantation and implantation elements are associated with the distal section. Between the interface surfaces of the proximal section and of the distal section there are mechanical interconnection elements for the kinematic association of the drive elements with the incision elements and with the explantation and implantation elements.

  • Publication number: 20240341798
    Abstract: A multifunctional handpiece includes a main body provided with a proximal opening for the entry of a power supply and control cable, with control assembly, and with a distal opening for the connection of a stem; the handpiece further includes: at least one temperature sensor, arranged inside the body and a cable made of electrically conducting material; at least one ultrasound transducer connected to a sonotrode rigidly coupled to the stem. The stem is at least partially electrically conducting and includes, on a proximal part of the external surface, a cladding made of an electrically insulating material, and accommodates within its internal cavity the cable. A distal portion of the stem, without external cladding, is adapted for the transfer of radiofrequency energy to the tissues of a patient against which it is juxtaposed: the energy is adjusted by the external control and management unit electrically connected to the stem.

  • Publication number: 20140343575
    Abstract: A device for tissue sampling and grafting has a handle (2), to whose end is fixed a coupling (4), a needle (6) fixed to the coupling. The device also includes a piston (3) connected to a pin (7). The piston and pin translate between an external condition (A), wherein a tip (73) of the in protrudes beyond the needle, and an internal condition (B), wherein the tip is retracted inside the needle. The device also includes a tip (5), having a truncated free end (51) that can be sharpened, constrained in a roto-translating way to the coupling, placed co-axially and externally to the needle and moved between a retracted condition (C) and an advanced condition.
