Description

A DEVICE FOR HAIR HARVESTING AND IMPLANTATION WITH MANUAL ROTARY MECHANISM

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The embodiment herein generally relates to the field of plastic surgery. More specifically, the embodiment described herein relate to a device for hair harvesting and implantation. Particularly, relates to a device for hair harvesting and implantation, wherein hair follicles are extracted from the donor area of a patient and immediately implanted into the receptor area of the patient using the same device. A surgeon / user can operate the device using a mechanical means.

BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART

[0002] Hair transplanting is a surgical procedure by which hair is taken from a part of the body and is moved or transferred to fill in an area where there is no or thinning hair. This is mostly used in cases of balding and alopecia. This procedure helps the affected area that can produce its own hair. That is, within a few weeks of transplanting, the hair starts to shed after which the hair starts growing from the roots naturally.

[0003] The reason that people get hair transplant is not only to look good in the eyes of others but to also help with their self-esteem. Thinning of hair and balding have become increasingly common in younger men and even in some women. This may lead them to lose self-confidence and also may not help them do well socially. Hair transplanting helps such people get their hair back to normal and also helps boost their self-esteem. In few cases of alopecia hair transplanting is the only cure or solution. Hair transplant is not done only for the sake of vanity but for many young sufferers of baldness, it is done for the sake of self-confidence and to escape social stigma.

[0004] There are two main methods of hair transplanting, follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE). FUT, also known as strip method, is a technique by which a strip of skin along with the hair is removed from the lower part of the head and is grafted onto the balding area. FUE is a hair transplant technique by which each hair follicle is punched out from the donor area and is harvested for hair restoration. These "follicular units" are then placed in the balding or problem area.

[0005] In case of FUE, each of these follicular units sometimes two, three or four units are extracted at a time from donor region with the help of a device from the donor region. These follicular units are extracted individually without cutting a strip from donor area. This process is called FUE. FUE can give very natural results.

[0006] In prior arts, hair follicles are extracted, stored and then implanted to a desired site on the patient's head. Conventionally, the hair follicles are extracted by piercing a needle inside the scalp and there might be a possibility of damage to the hair follicles. Further, storing of hair follicles and the survival rate of the follicles is very less. That leads to excess trauma to the hair follicles. Multiple times follicles are handled with tweezers and forceps etc. which can damage the follicles and again the survival rate of follicles is reduced. In addition to that, the patient may feel much pain in the donor site and receptor site due to pricking of the needle. There is a need for a new method and device to extract hair follicles without causing damage to hair follicle and less pain to the patient.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a device for hair harvesting and implantation to overcome the aforementioned problems associated with the prior art. Further, there is a need of a device for extraction and immediate implantation for higher period survival of extracted hair follicles and to provide minimum or negligible trauma to the hair follicles.

[00056] Further, a suction control on hand piece or it can be controlled at the compressor unit in a non-integrated suction system, using mechanical means or electrical means. The hand piece can be incorporated in automation unit or robotic arm to enhance the speed, accuracy and uniformity of hair transplant. The automation unit can be transportable, head mounted and easy to operate interface with sensors, camera and below skin visibility device.

[00057] Fig.4 illustrates a working mechanism 400 of a device for hair harvesting and implanting using manual rotary mechanism, according to an embodiment. During harvesting, a patient is under local anesthesia and the surgeon may define the donor site and receptor site for the patient. Before starting the procedure, the surgeons may extract couple of samples of the patient's hair follicle and study the features of the hair follicle. From the features of the hair follicle, the surgeon can understand the follicle/hair shaft diameter, density of hairs, depth of penetration of needle to understand dermic layer thickness and size of harvesting / implanting needle to be used. After this study, the surgeon can select the appropriate size of the needle and can also adjust the depth of penetration of the needle on the device. Now the device is ready for the procedure.

[00058] According to an embodiment, the depth of the penetration of the needle on the device to the donor/receptor place can be adjusted by means of adjusting the manual rotary mechanism. The manual rotary mechanism can be adjusted by pushing a sliding knob 103 axially to the distal end. The sliding knob 103 provided with the rack teeth 109 configured to slide axially towards the distal end of the device by meshing with the drive train spur gear 205 and thereby rotating the drive train spur gear 205. The drive train spur gear 205 is configured to rotate the drive train cross shaft 206 and the drive train bevel gear 207 mounted on the drive train cross shaft 207; and wherein the drive train bevel gear 207 is configured to rotate the mating drive train bevel gear 207 provided on the drive shaft 204 and thereby rotating the drive shaft 204. The drive shaft 204 is configured to rotate the driver gear 20 land thereby rotating the pinion 202 and the hollow needle 101. The sliding motion of the sliding knob 103 converted to the rotary motion of the hollow needle 101 and thereby allowing harvesting and implantation of the hair follicle.

[00059] The sliding knob 103 slide axially towards the distal end of the device leading to forward rotation 403 of the hollow needle 101 and the sliding knob slide towards a proximal end 107 of the device 100 leading to reverse rotation of the hollow needle 101. The sliding knob cover 108 is configured to cover the sliding knob housing excluding the sliding knob 103. For extracting the hair follicle again the metal tip 101 is made to rotate in reverse direction 401 to obtain the hair follicle without any damage.

[00060] According to an embodiment, the manual rotary mechanism can be adjusted to rotate the metal tip 101 in a reverse direction 401. The reverse rotation 401 can be achieved by manual movement 401 of sliding knob 103. In the manual movement, the sliding knob 103 can be manually pushed in the opposite direction thereby causing reverse rotation 401 of metal tip 101.

[00061] According to an embodiment, the surgeon can penetrate the needle of the device inside the scalp at the donor site up to the required depth. That is, till a hypodermic layer of the patient's skin. Further, the surgeon can cut an Arrector pili muscle of the hair follicle to make the hair follicle free from attachment. The surgeon can adjust the needle depth and penetration in such a way that the needle can cut Arrector pili muscle and cannot transact the bulb of the hair follicle. Then the surgeon can activate the control provided on the device, this action allows the gripping device 104to hold the hair follicle inside the needle. Further, the surgeon can pull the follicle inside the needle by moving the gripping device 104backward. The surgeon can take out the device gradually of the scalp and can complete the harvesting / extraction of the hair follicle.

[00062] According to an embodiment, during hair implantation, the surgeon can take the device to receptor site. The surgeon can pierce the needle by rotating metal tip 101 in forward direction 403, till a certain depth which is up to hypodermic layer of the skin at the desired location. The surgeon gradually can activate the control for implantation by rotating the metal tip 101 in reverse direction , once the follicle has reached the desired location. Further, the surgeon can release the hair follicle from the device by releasing the gripping device. The surgeon can take out leaving behind the hair follicle inside the scalp in implanted condition and can complete the hair implantation procedure for one follicle cycle. After that, the device is ready for next harvesting and implantation cycle. This process can be continued till number of grafts implantation is complete.
