At the moment, the problem that most men seem to be struggling to fight these days is hair loss or even worse, baldness. Also known as Androgenetic alopecia, this condition develops usually after 15-25 years. It is the case however, that some men experience baldness at an early stage of five years or even less. The first parts of the hair that begins to recede are the follicles in the front. In this stage, the hair on top of the head starts to grow thinner as well. The next scenario would be a bald patch in the middle of the scalp. In the end, the receding parts which are the front and the crown enlarge gradually. Even though there is a rim of hair left surrounding the back and sides of the scalp, in some men, this part also thins and worse, becomes bald as well. Thankfully, there is a specialized process to avoid this problem.
A hair transplant operation is a process that makes use of the patient's hair by transplanting it from one part to another part of the head. This operation involves the transfer of around 1500 grafts, each containing one to four follicles of hair to the treated area. These grafts are first obtained from a donor strip at the back of the patient's head. This strip measures 9mm and 12mm wide, and the length varies from 75mm or more, depending on how many grafts are required. The donor strip is slivered to create micrografts of 1-2 hairs, or minigrafts of 3-4 hairs. Once this strip is removed, the scar is closed and becomes unnoticeable. Hair transplant surgery has evolved to become a fast, realistic and relatively stress free process thanks to the Mantis stereo viewing system by Vision Engineering. Bill Eck of the Physician's Hair Institute in Arizona, shares his sentiments on the Mantis:
"The next phase of the operation requires great care and accuracy, and that's where the Mantis stereo viewer comes in. When cutting the donor strip into slivers in order to create the grafts for transplanting, we have to take care to isolate the exact number of hairs required for each graft. We must also avoid transecting the graft - that is, cutting through the root of the hair below the skin surface. Because we are working with individual hair follicles, this is difficult to accomplish with the naked eye."
The Mantis Stereo viewing system has over 100,000 units installed worldwide for medical, industrial, research, educational applications. The mantis microscope is popular when there is a task of low magnification viewing involved. These tasks oftentimes include dental manufacture, sample handling, inspection and quality control among others. This stereo viewer prides itself in an eyepiece-less instrument, while at the same time providing a true stereo, high clarity image. The unit is able to magnify from 2x up to 10x the size of the actual object. Vision Engineering ergonomically designed these viewers so that operators can work for several hours with optimal posture while at the same time delivering high performance. Operators can even use this device while wearing their glasses or contact lenses, making it easier to use. Vision Engineering offers a selection of accessories for the Mantis, such as a base configuration among others, in order to cater to their specific needs.
Qualities such as depth perception, illumination and color rendition are important in this industry for a more precise and faster handling of the grafts. Eck reports that a hands-free operation is vital. In fact, according to him, before the Mantis came out, they were only using magnifying glasses at a 2x magnification. The Mantis has been such a great development by providing operators with superior image quality and ease of usage. The Mantis is already renowned in the hair transplant industry, being chosen by several of the world's top clinics such as the Laser Hair Institute in North Miami Beach, the Physician's Hair Center in Clearwater, Florida and the Physician's Hair Institute in Tucson. It is in these sectors that the Mantis stereo viewing system has become a favoured tool of many practitioners.
