Hair Transplant Microscopes
> To answer this correctly I will first give you some safety information from OSHA. The Binocular Microscope is one of the main causes of neck and shoulder injuries in the U.S., these are not just short term injuries, they are long term disability type injuries. The reason is that the binocular microscope forces your head and neck into unnatural positions for an extended amount of time.
> You can go to the OSHA website to learn more, now I will recommend the best alternatives.
>
> You have 3 choices when evaluating what type of microscope to buy. The binocular, which is the least expensive, portable, and it will hurt your neck.
> The Mantis microscope, which runs about 2800.00, it is very safe, instead of looking through 2 eye pieces you look at a large oval shaped viewing area, it has incredible optics, and it is very comfortable since you are sitting upright and looking straight. It is not really portable, but it will not damage your neck like a binocular microscope.
> The 3rd option is a video microscope, it is very safe, but a little more expensive than a Mantis. It also allows you to record the graft cutting for quality control and teaching new hair transplant technicians.
> So my recommendation is to purchase the Mantis microscope, it will allow your hair transplant technicians to cut great follicular units fast, without causing fatigue and more importantly long term debilitating injuries. You can purchase all of these microscopes at www.georgetiemann.com

I would stay away from the binocular type of microscopes, they are known for hurting your neck, the mantis type of scope is better, but both types will eventually hurt your eyes in the long run. do any of the other techs out there wonder why the doctors don't use scopes to make the sites?
