I will start by saying that I am no expert in the medical field or the field of hair restoration so take my opinions accordingly.

I'm not exactly sure how the doctors will use Acell. It may be by strip surgery of FUE. I have a feeling that many doctors will try different techniques to see what works best. One forum member e-mailed me and said that a doctor he deals with would like dip "plucked" hairs into Acell and try to implant them. I don't know how that will work, but he is the doctor, not me. I guess it's worth a try anyways.

I think that they will need to use the powder version of Acell if doctors want to use it in FUE surgery. The only problem with this is that the basal membrane (I think that's what they called it - the side of the sheet that contains the growth factors) cannot be arranged in a manner where the particles of Acell all face in the right direction. The people at Acell feel that this would not be a problem because, on average, enough particles will face in the correct position to achieve the desired results.

As far as with strip surgery. I think they will use Acell exactly as you said. The doctors will perform the surgery but instead of stitching up the removed tissue, they will leave the wound open and apply the Acell material and cover it with a bandage. I believe that it would be an inconvience, but worth it if it would regenerate the donor tissue.

I know when my father had malignant melanoma skin cancer removed, they left the wound open and allowed it to heal from the inside out (I'm not really sure why....that was over 15 years ago). The incision was very deep (it was in his neck), he just kept it covered with a bandage and it healed fine. He hasn't had any problems with it since.

By the way, I've had 3 strip surgeries myself (about 10-15 years ago).

Take Care,
Bill
