Overview
Some clinics use glass blades marketed as sapphire blades for recipient-site incisions.
Sapphire blades are produced in fixed sizes and depth, while follicular unit grafts vary between patients.
AEK prefers custom-made platinum blades prepared during surgery to match each patient's graft dimensions.
What matters in the plan
- The incision should match graft size and depth.
- Custom blade preparation helps avoid oversized or undersized recipient sites.
- Precision matters more than material branding.
