When Vera Clinic's surgical team first encountered Appsilon Enterprise's CVD lab-grown diamond platform, the material was not designed for hair transplantation. It was an engineering infrastructure built for quantum optics and aerospace applications. What the clinic's surgeons saw, however, was something the hair transplant industry had not yet attempted: a blade made from the hardest material measurable on Earth.
The result of that collision between aerospace-grade materials science and real-world clinical surgery is the Vector 10™, a surgical blade produced through Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technology and rated 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, which measures the hardness of materials from 1 to 10. There is no higher value on that scale. Sapphire, which has served as the gold standard for FUE hair transplant blades for years, sits at 9.
