ABSTRACT:
A straight needle for penetrating the scalp substantially parallel to the underlying bone structure has a trailing tissue-compatible flexible preferably transparent plastic tube which contains a stainless steel bushing. After being pulled through the scalp puncture openings by the needle, the needle with a portion of the trailing tube is severed and discarded with a section of the tube and the contained bushing remaining in the scalp with end portions projecting outwardly of the puncture openings. The external end portions of the bushing are turned upwardly approximately normal to the scalp and a parallel lock bar to which a hair piece may be anchored is attached in close parallel relationship to the implanted bushing by a wire which is threaded through the bushing and its encasing tube before bending the ends of the bushing. The wire ends are also threaded through the tubular lock bar and tightened prior to crimping the ends of the lock bar on the wire and removal of excess wire ends to complete the implanted unit. Sterile packaging is featured. Only simple tools are required. Strain on the edges of scalp puncture openings is eliminated. By a modification, plural bushings can be implanted in the scalp in a connected array by continuous crimped wires which will prevent both the wires and the bushings from moving relatively. The wire crimped portions between bushings lie close to the scalp for the attachment of a hair piece.
