Abstract
An extraction tool configured to, by control provided by an operator, autonomously pierce a skin surface, detach and aspirate a follicular unit therein included to a storage location. The proposed extraction tool allows to extract a follicular unit in a perpendicular or a non-perpendicular positioning with regard to the skin surface plane, as well performing counting of the aspirated detached follicular units based on a behavioral analysis of the motor comprised in the extraction tool.
Claims15
An extraction tool to pierce a skin surface, detach and aspirate a follicular unit therein enclosed, comprising at least
- a motor, a circular hollow section punch and a rotary union;
- the motor comprises a central rotating shaft with two ends which extends beyond the dimensions of said motor at least in one first end and which will be mechanically adapted to the circular hollow section punch through a coupler;
- and the rotary union, comprising a first end and a second end, is coupled by its first end to the motor through the second end of the central rotating shaft, through a rear flange adapted to an outer structure of the motor and through a rotary union fixation cover that promotes the fitting and positioning of the rotary union against said outer structure of the motor;
- the second end of rotary union is connected to a control unit through an Outer PTFE tube;
- and the motor is connected to said control unit through energy and control cabling;
- the control unit being configured to control at least a rotation procedure of the circular hollow section punch during the skin surface piercing and detachment of a follicular unit therein enclosed and aspirate the detached follicular unit through the circular hollow punch section comprised therein towards the control unit.
