The efficiency of the device was remarkable, yielding a graft extraction rate of 440 per hour versus 157 per hour in previous studies. Even surgeons with less than 6 months of experience expressed an increased willingness (from 1.25 to 4.20 on a scale of 1 – 5) to perform unshaven long hair FUE procedures after adopting UGraft Zeus®.
