  • Patent number: 9987041
    Abstract: A disposable needle hair transplanter includes: a plunger structure having an outer barrel defining a passage, a plunger assembly having at least one push needle movable within the passage of the outer barrel, and a hair transplantation depth controller drivingly connected with the plunger assembly via a link; a needle having a needle seat connected with the outer barrel and at least one needle tube in which a hair follicle is loadable, the hair transplantation depth controller serving to restrict the depth by which the needle tube is thrust into the scalp; and a hair follicle depth controller having a cylindrical structure fitted around the needle seat and a shaft tube connected with the cylindrical structure and coaxially disposed around the needle tube. The hair transplantation depth controller is disposed around the shaft tube and movable along the shaft tube toward or away from the scalp.

  • Publication number: 20160166272
    Abstract: A mechanized punch for making cylindrical excision of hair follicles is connected to an electronic instrument and includes a tubular element and a rectilinearly advancing rotary mechanism. The rectilinearly advancing rotary mechanism includes a circle-cutting device and a rectilinear movement module, in which the circle-cutting device comprises a transmission shaft having a first end connected with a drive element and a second end connected with a chuck so that the chuck is allowed to clamp tight a tubular punch. When donor skin is contacted by the tubular punch, the electronic instrument actuates the drive element to drive the transmission shaft and the tubular punch for rotation while the linear actuator in the rectilinear movement module drives the circle-cutting device in a rectilinear forward motion until a cylindrical cut of predetermined depth is made on the donor skin by the punch.
