A method and apparatus (700) for forming multiple cavities in the tissue of a patient into which hair transplant grafts are placed, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises inter-engaging plates. A first plate (708) includes a number of downwardly extending spikes (724) for extension through a number of downwardly extending hollow catheters (714) of a second plate (702). The first (708) and second (702) plates are pressed together with the inter-engaging spikes (724) and catheters (714) penetrating the tissue. The first plate (708) is removed, leaving cavities formed by the hollow catheters (714) of the second plate (702). A third plate having downwardly extending hollow catheters filled with hair grafts is sleeved into or aligned with the catheters of the first plate. The hair grafts are pressed downward through the third plate, through the first plate into the scalp, preferably by use of rods extending down from a fourth plate. The third plate may take the form of a rotatable circular wheel (710) or replaceable cartridge (740) which has bores therethrough for holding hair grafts, which is located between the first plate and the second plate.
