It was released in January 2006 by Elsevier Publishing.

- New instrument for making sites. Called CAG's these blades are cut to correspond with the actual size of the hair shaft of each individual patient. These blades allow us to get optimal density of the recipient area. The blades range in size from 0.4 mm to 1mm, which is about the same thickness as a dime!
