In a hair transplant procedure, several specialized surgical instruments are used to ensure precision, safety, and natural-looking results. These instruments vary depending on the technique — FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) — but here’s a complete list of the most commonly used ones:

🔹 1. Hair Transplant Punch

Used to extract grafts (follicular units) from the donor area.

Available in manual, motorized, and serrated types.

Sizes usually range from 0.6 mm to 1.0 mm depending on hair thickness.

Example: Guru Serrated Punch — designed for smooth and precise extraction.

🔹 2. Extraction Forceps

Used to hold and remove grafts after punching.

Designed to minimize graft damage and ensure a gentle grip.

Example: Guru Extraction Forceps — lightweight, anti-slip, and ergonomic.

🔹 3. Implanter Pen / Keep Implanter

Used to implant grafts directly into the recipient site without pre-made slits.

Improves accuracy, angle, and density of implantation.

Example: Keep Implanter — India’s only manufactured implanter by Guru Hair Instruments.

🔹 4. Implantation Forceps

Used in slit and place method (when implanter pens are not used).

Helps place grafts into pre-made recipient slits.

Example: Guru Titanium Implanting Forceps — provides firm control and precision.

🔹 5. Slit Blades / Slit Needles

Used to create recipient sites for graft placement.

Available in different sizes and angles (0.8–1.2 mm).

Example: Guru Slit Blades — ultra-sharp and durable stainless steel for perfect slits.

🔹 6. Graft Chilling Device / Constant Temperature Machine

Maintains grafts at an optimal low temperature during surgery.

Prevents dehydration and increases graft survival.

Example: Guru Graft Constant Temperature Machine with FIFO Plate.

🔹 7. Hairline Laser Device

Helps in marking and designing the hairline before implantation.

Ensures perfect symmetry and alignment.

Example: Guru Laser Hair Line Device.

🔹 8. FUE Machine (Motorized Unit)

Used for motorized punch extraction with speed and precision.

Reduces surgeon fatigue and procedure time.

Example: Guru FUE Machine.

🔹 9. Surgical Scissors, Forceps & Needle Holders

Used for general surgical purposes such as trimming grafts or suturing donor areas (mainly in FUT).

🔹 10. Magnification Loupes or Microscopes

Used to enhance visibility during extraction and implantation for detailed work.
