Objective:
To show that No-Kor vented needles are better than conventional hypodermic needles (with and without dilators) and Bard Parker blades for micrograft recipient site development.
Method:
Comparisons with hypodermic needles (with and without dilators) and Bard Parker blade incisions are made.
Results:
When compared with hypodermic needles (with and without dilators, the No-Kor needles show less scarring, allow easier placement, take less surgical time, and are less expensive. When compared with Bard Parker blade incisions, the No-Kor needles demonstrate less scarring, more precision, and less expense.
