Procedure Overview
Key steps from the demonstration:
- Barrel Assembly:
- Loosen the barrel to begin setup.
- Inserting the Punch:
- Loosen the collet.
- Insert the CIT punch into the collet.
- Tighten the collet to secure the punch in place.
- Reinsert and tighten the barrel.
- Adjusting Punch Depth:
- The side window on the barrel has measurement lines, each marking 1 mm.
- Loosen the locking nut to adjust.
- Turning the barrel clockwise extrudes more of the punch (1 full turn = 1 mm).
- Once the desired depth is reached, tighten the locking nut.
- Adjust as needed for more or less depth by loosening and retightening the locking nut.
Pro Tip:
Consistent depth control helps minimize transection rates and ensures clean graft extraction during FUE procedures.
