Automated
FUE hair transplant
DR FRDRIC MENU was one of the first doctors to propose the S.A.F.E.R./NeoGraft procedure in
his clinic. He describes the features and benefits of the device

he S.A.F.E.R./NeoGraft
patented medical device
was developed by the
French company MEDICAMAT, worldwide leader in automated hair transplant with an
international experience of more
than 20 years in the hair restoration
field. I myself have more than 10
years of experience, and performed
several hundreds of hair transplants
surgeries using this device.
The main advantage of the system and its associated technique is
to automate the manual follicular
unit extraction (FUE) procedure.
This medical device performs both
the extraction according to the FUE
technique and the implantation. It
offers three hand pieces powered by
electro pneumatic controls.
The extraction hand piece
It consists in an autoclavable hollow shafted contra angle on which
is fixed a motorised punch with a
rotation system (five diameters: 0.8,
0.9, 1, 1.25 and 1.40 mm), and a
controlled pneumatic negative pressure to smoothly extract every single graft from the donor area, into a
micro flask fixed on the hand piece.

perficially penetrates the patients

skin, until the arrector pili muscle
is cut ( 2mm deep). This superficial penetration avoids any risk of
graft transection or trauma, allows
a better quality (more cells around
the graft) and a dramatic reduction
of the time of surgery.
The implantation hand
pieces
It consists in a hollow needle (diameter 0.8mm and 1mm) surmounted
by a piston allowing the operator to
gently implant the grafts into the
pre-made incisions in the bald area
with extreme precision and without
any popping risk, using positive
pneumatic pressure. The two implantation hand pieces connected
to the device allow two operators to
simultaneously plant, substantially
reducing the duration of surgery.
Benefits of the S.A.F.E.R./
NeoGraft technique
Minimally invasive procedure,
highly improving the accuracy of
hair follicles harvesting
The device enhances the speed,
efficiency and quality of hair transplant procedures
After mastering the device, I was able
to reach a transection rate close to 0%
I am able to focus only on the aesthetic
quality and naturalness of the surgery
I dramatically reduced the duration of my surgeries: more than half
the time compared to manual FUE
Even though I work with an assistant to help me implant the grafts,
it is possible to work alone.
Summary
The device features allow me to
concentrate all my efforts on the
artistic quality and naturalness of

the final result for every patient. It

also makes the patients and I save
a lot of time and energy. The accuracy of the hair extraction and
the results are so much better, patients are now able to reach their
goal with less time in the procedure
room or fewer FUE procedures. I
think it was the breakthrough we
were all waiting for in the hair restoration field.
