No worries, I’m not concerned about an attack but thanks for the clarification.
"How many hours does it take to complete a 5002 grafts session? "
It can take ten to fourteen hours. It all depends on a lot of factors, among which are the amount of bleeding the patient does, the quality of the recipient scalp tissue, whether or not the patient “snuck” in with minoxidil still in their scalp, etc.
“Who does all the cutting?”
The technicians, which number about twelve or thirteen.
"How many employees are punching holes in the patients head & how many
employees are actually inserting the grafts?
Zero employees “punch holes”. Dr. Hasson (or Dr. Wong) make all the incisions themselves. They use custom cut blades matched up to the size of the patient’s grafts and are constantly changing out blades to make sure they are consistently sharp. All the incisions are not made in one sitting either. The doctor makes the first “wave” of incisions, then the techs come in and start placing while the rest of the grafts are being dissected, then the doctor comes in again a few times to continue with the incisions as they are readied.
Two to four technicians, depending on the size of the job, rotate throughout the day when inserting.
“If your clinic does a 5002 grafts session on Monday,can another 5000
grafts procedure be performed on another patient on Tuesday or does your
staff require a break for a few days in between large sessions?”
It can and has been done but is not the norm. We try not to schedule too many “big” sessions in one week.
I hope I’ve answered your questions adequately and have helped with your research.
