Most high-volume clinics stock both titanium and disposable FUE punches. Understanding the trade-offs helps you order the right mix.
Titanium (reusable)
- Lower long-run cost when sterilised and reused across many cases
- Edge durability thanks to TiN coating or solid titanium bodies
- Requires inspection and reprocessing workflow
Disposable (single-use)
- Fresh edge every case — no sharpening or inspection
- Zero cross-contamination risk
- Predictable per-graft cost, ideal for budgeting
A practical mix
Many clinics use titanium for their lead surgeon's primary technique and keep disposables on hand for high-throughput days, training, and difficult skin types. Ordering both from one supplier simplifies logistics and unlocks combined volume pricing.
