ABSTRACT:
A device and method for implanting hair grafts into a patient's scalp is disclosed. The device includes guides, each having an internal passage, which extend downwardly from a base. Spikes extend downwardly from a depressor which is movable with respect to the guides and base. The spikes are movable within a corresponding guide passage to a position where each spike and guide cooperate to dilate a cavity in the scalp. In addition, each spike is movable to engage a hair graft and push the hair graft through the guide into the cavity in the scalp.
