Figure 4-9. Extraction Handpiece
The extraction handpiece is comprised of a cable (connected to the
system), a motor and a hollow shafted contra angle head into which
a punch is inserted.
Graft extraction is carried out by the rotating punch. The punch
penetrates the tissue, until the arrector muscle. The vacuum sucks
the graft into the graft collector that is attached to the handpiece.
In order to guide the penetration of the punch according to depth
bulb, a polyethylene tube can be cut to appropriate length and
inserted into the punch (tube supplied by Venus Concept).
The graft collector is emptied when 50 to 100 grafts are collected.
All grafts are then controlled and aligned on a tray soaked with
saline solution.
0.8 mm, 0.9 mm and 1.0 mm punches are supplied with the
device.
