Abstract
Mini-blades are particularly useful in creating incisional pockets as recipient sites for hair transplants. With the aid of a special mini-blade handle, the length and depth of each incision can be accurately controlled. Surgeons can rapidly produce multiple uniform incisions with the technique described. Mini-blades are thicker than other blades and partially dilate each incision. Graft insertion is simplified by the partial dilation. More substantial dilation of the larger miniblade incisions can be produced with a twisting motion imparted to the mini-blade during the incisional process.Keywords
