Scalar video imaging systems are ideal for use with hair transplantation surgical procedures. High-resolution monitors can reduce fatigue and improve graft quality. Techniques can be taped for training purposes. The status of graft preparation can also be viewed by the doctor on a second monitor, without leaving the patient. By pushing on the optional foot pedal, an image is captured on the screen.
Micrograft preparation is made easier with the aid of a video microscope and color monitor.
Individual graft placements can be made more precise, and the entire process can be inspected more easily to assure high quality work. With Scalar video microscopes, the doctor can check the progress of one or more graft cutting stations by viewing graft preparation progress on a second video monitor placed in the operating room, without leaving the patient. This can be especially helpful with megasession procedures which require a well-coordinated effort by the doctor and a team of medical assistants. With video microsocpe technology the doctor can show the patient their new hairs growing in before they are visible to the naked eye. This is extremely comforting to the patient.
