The Graft Constant Temperature Machine is a specialized medical device designed for use during hair transplant surgeries to ensure the safe preservation of hair grafts. Maintaining graft quality is critical for achieving high survival rates and natural results. This machine provides a controlled, stable cooling environment that keeps grafts at the optimal temperature from extraction until implantation.
Key Features:
- 🌡️ Precise Temperature Control – Maintains grafts at a constant, safe temperature (typically between 4–8°C).
- ❄️ Uniform Cooling System – Prevents temperature fluctuations that could damage delicate follicular units.
- 🧪 Sterile Storage Chambers – Keeps grafts secure, hygienic, and ready for implantation.
- ⚡ Digital Display & Monitoring – Easy to check and regulate temperature in real time.
- 🔋 Energy Efficient & Portable – Compact design suitable for operating rooms and continuous use.
Why It’s Needed in Hair Transplantation:
- Preserves cell vitality of extracted grafts.
- Reduces risk of desiccation (drying) and thermal damage.
- Improves graft survival rate and ensures stronger hair growth.
- Enhances overall transplant success rate and natural results.
- After follicles are extracted (in FUE or other methods), they are very sensitive and can be damaged if temperature fluctuates.
- The GCTM keeps the grafts at a constant hypothermic temperature to slow cellular metabolism and reduce damage.
- It avoids the problems of using ice or uncontrolled cooling, where melting ice or temperature spikes could harm the grafts.
- These devices often allow setting temperature in a range (for example 0 °C to 15 °C in some models).
Clinical rationale & benefits
Precision control: Unlike ice which changes state over time, the machine provides consistent, predictable cooling.
Reduced metabolic demand: Cooling slows down the metabolism of the cells in the grafts, reducing nutrient demand and waste accumulation.
Avoid temperature shocks: Sudden warming or cooling can damage cells (thermal stress). Maintaining constant temperature minimizes such risks.
Better graft survival / take rate: The more stable the environment, the better chance the grafts remain viable.
👉 In simple terms: The Graft Constant Temperature Machine acts like a “life-support system” for hair grafts, keeping them in perfect condition until they are implanted back into the scalp.
