KD SPREADER
This device comprising of a shaft and hook connected to the shaft and configured to allow the user to work efficiently.
The device uses one finger grips which are positioned on the surface of the shaft for providing efficient gripping so that desired stretching force may be applied without much fatigue to the human muscles.
During graft harvesting
KD Spreader provides the following advantages
- It fits the index finger of the non-dominant hand of the user.
2. Terminal portion of the device gently lift and stretch the donor area just above to the extraction site
3. Desired stretch can be achieved by pulling force at the time of scoring.
4. Hassel free smooth extraction: Lateral or upward traction is used for removal of the grafts after it has been punched.
Use of KD Spreader
during Extraction
Use of KD Spreader during Graft Collection
Fixing Graft holding Plate on KD Spreader
Graft holding plate with KD Spreader uses magnets for easy attachment.
Use of KD Spreader during Implantation
Terminal portion skin hook gently lifts and spreads most superficial part of skin while another hand grasps the graft in forceps.
Graft gently slides inside slit while slit is elevated and dilated by KD Spreader.
KD Spreader released and graft positioned in place.
Three people performing implantation without overcrowding.
Advantage of the KD Spreader
There is lower risk of physical trauma to the graft even in a beginner’s hands.
It improves the ability of beginners to perform FUE.
It can be used to train inexperienced assistants without jeopardizing quality control.
It is a low-cost instrument that can be used repeatedly.
The person implanting does not face fatigue of hands.
Grafts stay immersed in holding solution, thus limiting the chance of dehydration.
It allows 3 or 4 implanters to work in the same field, so a procedure finishes faster.
