The content described in this section merely provides background information for an embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute a prior art.

A hair follicle transplantation device is a device used to implant live or artificial hair on a hair loss site due to an accident or disease, and is generally used to feed eyebrows, beards, pubic hair, and hair.

In a typical hair follicle transplantation device, a needle is movably inserted in the axial direction of the body inside the cylindrical body, and a long rod-shaped staff is inserted in the needle.

The needle serves to make a hole in the hair-planting site, and the staff serves to settle the hair roots in the scalp tissue.

Therefore, the hair follicle transplantation is achieved by placing the hair follicle in the incision groove formed at the needle end, and then inserting the needle into the scalp and then moving only the needle into the cylindrical body, the hair follicle is separated from the needle by the staff end and implanted into the scalp. That is, the position of the staff is fixed, and the hair follicles are caught at the end of the staff and settled in the scalp tissue as the needles appear and move.

On the other hand, the procedure style is different for each operator, and the thickness of the skin tissue of the scalp varies depending on the operator, and in particular, the thickness of the skin tissue varies depending on the location of the head. There is.

However, since the general hair follicle transplantation device cannot adjust the length of the needle and the staff exposed outside the body, the operator must insert and insert the needle at an arbitrary depth depending on the situation. There was a problem in that the hair follicles could not be transplanted regularly and the transplanted hair could not be maintained.

In particular, there was a problem in that damage to the skin tissue in the scalp caused bleeding and inflammation.

Therefore, in recent years, hair follicle transplantation devices that can be used by adjusting the length of the needle have been developed, but due to the complicated structure and the high cost, the hair follicle transplantation device is not widely used because it is mainly used as a disposable device.

In addition, the hair follicle transplantation device needs to be replaced due to hygiene and cost issues, and the needle size is different depending on the number of hairs (1 to 3) to be transplanted at a time. many.

By the way, the needle was inserted into the side through the incised groove on the side of the body and then assembled and released by pushing it to the end of the body. When the end of the needle, which should be kept sharp, touches the inner wall of the body during the assembly process, it is damaged and dull Product defect rate was high. In addition, when performing a hair transplant surgery with these products, there is a problem that the hair follicle is not only difficult to transplant, but also damages the scalp.

In addition, as one embodiment of the present invention, the size of the needle can be easily distinguished by differentiating the color of the O-ring 60 according to the size of the needle, thereby distinguishing the O-ring 60 having a greater discrimination power than the needle.

In other words, the needles are formed with a diameter of 0.64mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, or 1.2mm depending on the number of hair follicles (1 to 3) and the procedure of the needle 20, the size of which is too large. It is small and difficult to distinguish accurately with the naked eye. However, if the color of the O-ring 60 is different according to the needle size, the size of the O-ring 60 is formed around 1 cm, and since the color is different, it is easy to identify and thus the needle size can be easily distinguished.

The projecting length of the staff 40 is determined by the screwing length of the cap 50 and the inner body 10. When the cap 50 is rotated in one direction and deeply coupled to the inner body 10, the staff 40 is pushed and exposed to the lower portion of the inner body 10, and when the cap 50 is turned in the opposite direction to shorten the combined length, the staff is shortened. (40) is a short exposure due to retreat. Therefore, the length of the staff 40 may be adjusted by an operation of rotating the cap 50.

The outer body 70 of the present invention is fitted outside of the inner body 10. The outer body 70 may be fitted to either the top of the inner body 10 (before combining the cap 50) or the bottom. The outer body 70 is provided with a streamlined shape for easy gripping on the outer surface, and a grip portion 71 with a plurality of protrusions is formed, and a portion of the inner surface has a needle fastening portion 72 that is engaged with the needle fixing cap 22 ) Is formed, and the thread formed on the needle fastening part 72 and the fastening screw thread 24 of the needle fixing cap 22 are combined to allow the outer body 70 and the needle 20 to be fastened.
