The ARTAS® System enhances manual surgical performance in three key areas where robotics are proven to extend human capability. For the very latest technology in hair restoration, Dr. Bishara is now using the ARTAS System. This interactive, computer assisted equipment employs image guidance to enhance the quality of hair follicle harvesting. ARTAS is the first hair transplant robot to improve the most challenging aspects of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). It received clearance from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for use in April 2011.
About the ARTAS® Robotic Procedure:
- Skin tensioner is placed on the trimmed donor area to keep the area taut
- High resolution visualization identifies follicular units on the surface of the patient’s skin and targets them for harvesting
- Image-guided robotic arm maneuvers and deploys the two-needle system, compensating for patient movement
- Inner needle scores the skin, then the dissecting punch separates the follicular unit from the remaining tissue
- Gentle suction lifts the dissected graft partially out of the scalp, so technicians can remove using forceps
- Grafts are manually transplanted in the desired scalp areas
A Better Patient Experience
With the minimally invasive ARTAS® Robotic System, Dr. Bishara can build patient confidence with reproducible, natural-looking outcomes with fast recovery times. There are many patient benefits including:
- Robotically precise and consistent
- Reduced treatment times
- Less discomfort
- Faster healing and return to normal activities
