Recently, Dr. Cole visited HDC in Cyprus to allow the staff physicians there to experience the new items available from Cole Instruments.  Dr. Cole originally trained the staff at HDC in both FUE and strip surgery in 2003.  Since this time, HDC has done a wonderful job and produced many outstanding results for their patients.

Dr. Cole demonstrated his new Power Cole Isolation Device, PCID, along with his new line of punches.  The staff physicians were able to see the advantages of the punches Dr. Cole manufactures along with the speed and accuracy of the PCID.  Dr. Cole easily extracted grafts on a patient using the 0.85 mm punch set at a 2.3 mm depth.  The patient had a previous strip procedure at another clinic and desired to fill the area in with additional hair, as well as treat the unsightly strip scar.

Dr. Cole then discussed the advantages of sharp punches over dull punches along with the theories behind FUE harvesting of grafts with minimal transection.  The staff was very pleased with the sharp, thin walls of Dr. Cole’s punches.  They immediately ordered 30 punches for use on their patients.

Imagine having the capacity to accurately maintain the incision count during recipient site preparation while communicating freely with your patients or staff. The new, cutting-edge Counting Incision Device (C-ID) allows physicians to simultaneously accomplish both! This new medical instrument is now offered by Device For Hair Restoration. The C-ID features an LED display that maintains a 5 digit count of recipient site preparation and 3 different tips with depth control for pre-cut blades or needles (18G, 19G, 20G or 21G), depending upon your preferred method of recipient site preparation. This revolutionary device is also light-weight, ergonomic and disposable.

HOW DOCTORS CAN BENEFIT FROM THE C-ID DEVICE

The C-ID allows the physician to accurately maintain the incision count during recipient site preparation. With this new, automated technology, the physician can now freely communicate with the patient, which aids in reduction of patient anxiety from the procedure. Graft site preparation produces a sound that often makes the patient uncomfortable and nervous. With the C-ID, the physician can now openly communicate with the patient or staff during the procedure, which assists in reducing patient anxiety from the procedure and improves the overall rapport. In addition, the device also makes an audible beep with each incision that helps to distract the patient’s awareness of the sound produced by graft site preparation. In addition, many physicians often add a technician to assist them during graft site preparation to aid in counting. This reduces the cost efficiency of the procedure as the technician is focused on counting grafts rather than cutting grafts, thus potentially adding time and labor cost to the procedure. Finally, as most hair transplant procedures are billed on a per graft basis, the incision count accuracy of the CID is an effective way to reduce the cost of a procedure and to generate increased revenue for your practice.

The Counting Incision Device(C-ID) allows the physician to accurately maintain the incision count during recipient site preparation.

In this video demonstration of the CID, you can see just how easy and effective our popular automated incision counting device is.  You can see how quickly and simply a pre-cut blade or needle of your choosing can be loaded and secured into this device.  Customized blades and needles are available from Cole Instruments and you can easily control the depth of the incision with each CID.  Be sure to observe the ergonomic handle design, making site preparation as comfortable and easy as possible for the surgeon.  The digital count display is entirely accurate and so easy to read.

The Cole Isolation Technique is being refined with the incorporation of Dr. Cole's newest motorized instrument called PCID (Programmable Power Cole Isolation Device). This equipment makes the extraction process faster, using smaller punches, than ever before.

This video demonstration shows Dr. Cole’s exciting PCID in action.  The Programmable Cole Isolation Device makes the extraction process faster, while using smaller punches, than ever before.  In addition to traditional scalp hair, this video shows the extraction of beard hair.  You can see firsthand just how easily and safely the PCID allows for even the, traditionally challenging and painstaking, extraction of body hair.
