The Neograft is ok. It does not have many variables though and the punches are not very good. it's still probably much better than the robot. it had a very high transection rate until the adopted some form of depth control. not sure where that idea came from or who gave it to them, but it made the d...

Let me ask you a question, William. Do you think most physicians even bother to check their transection rates for strip surgery or for FUE? Most physicians don't.
