Dr. Mark Glasgold of Highland Park, New Jersey is excited to show the importance of Puregraft technology for hair restoration through a recent study. The research compares graft retention rates using Puregraft technology with the historical findings on centrifuged process grafts, previously completed by the same authors. A total of 26 graft patients (52 hemifaces) were followed over a 17-month period. The results found that Puregraft patients had a significantly higher graft retention rate, at 41.2%, as compared with the 31.8% rate for centrifuged grafts.
Puregraft has an advanced filtration system, removing the cell-damaging free lipids and white/red blood cells. This process decreases contamination, improving the graft’s retention rate. Dr. Glasgold explains, "Fat grafting has long been criticized for its unpredictable rates of retention. Puregraft helps to address this shortcoming and performed better when compared to traditional methods of processing."
Puregraft is an FDA approved system which provides surgeons with confidence in efficacy, as well as efficiency. Adipose tissue can be safely purified for reinjection in 15 minutes or less; areas that can be treasted include the face, body, and breasts. Puregraft technology is already used in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
