Choi Hair Transplanter
The Choi instrument has, until recently, been the only device in use which makes the recipient sites and places the grafts at the same time. However, it holds only one graft at a time and the loading process is laborious, time consuming and inefficient. It also works best with the more rigid, coarse Asian hair since it pushes (rather than pulls) the hair into the recipient site. Fine, Caucasian hair may present problems in both the loading and insertion steps.

The Choi's advantage over the manual technique is that the manual skills for placing grafts are largely eliminated, refocusing the technical skills to loading the Choi device by hand. However, for a well-trained technician, it can take longer to load the Choi device than it takes to place grafts by hand. Another advantage is that some human variables are reduced during the placement process.
