A hair transplant punch (also called an FUE punch) is a tiny, cylindrical surgical instrument used in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedures.
🔹 Main Function
- It is used to extract individual follicular units (grafts) from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp).
- The punch makes a circular incision around the follicle, separating it from surrounding tissue so it can be safely removed without damage.
- 🔹 Types of FUE Punches
- Sharp Punch – Clean cutting edge, useful for precise scoring.
- Blunt Punch – Reduces transection (damage) of hair roots.
- Serrated Punch – Has tiny serrations for better grip and smoother cutting.
- Manual Punch – Used by hand with controlled pressure.
- Motorized / Robotic Punch – Attached to a machine for faster extraction.
- 🔹 Sizes
- Punch diameters usually range from 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm.
- Smaller punches (0.7–0.8 mm) → less scarring, more natural results.
- Larger punches (>1 mm) → faster extraction, but slightly higher scarring risk.
- 🔹 Importance
- The quality of the punch directly affects graft survival rate and scarring.
- A well-designed punch minimizes follicle transection and ensures healthy grafts for transplantation.
Why Guru Hair Instruments Punches are Better than Others?
Guru Hair Instruments punches are engineered with surgical precision and innovation to deliver the best outcomes in modern FUE procedures. Unlike standard punches, Guru punches are manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel with ultra-fine sharpness to reduce transection and ensure smooth follicle extraction.
Their unique serration and edge geometry are scientifically designed to cut cleanly around follicles, minimizing tissue trauma and improving graft survival rates. With ultra-thin walls and perfect concentric alignment, the punches reduce resistance during penetration, allowing surgeons to work efficiently even in dense donor areas.
Guru punches are available in a wide range of sizes (0.7 mm – 1.0 mm) to suit different patient profiles and hair types. Each punch undergoes strict quality control and precision machining, ensuring consistent sharpness, durability, and smooth operation.
By combining ergonomics, precision, and durability, Guru Hair Instruments punches give surgeons higher speed, accuracy, and superior patient outcomes compared to conventional alternatives.
