Product Overview
The Quill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device (Monoderm™) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure, knotless wound closure. Made from polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), this monofilament suture offers excellent tensile strength and gradual absorption, minimizing tissue reaction. The 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle ensures precise penetration and reduced trauma during suturing.
Features:
- Knotless design eliminates the need for traditional knot tying, reducing operative time.
- Barbed monofilament provides superior tissue grip, distributing tension evenly along the wound.
- Absorbable material (PGA/PCL blend) degrades predictably, supporting healing without requiring suture removal.
- 3-0 size balances strength and flexibility for optimal closure.
- Reverse cutting needle enhances precision in dense or tough tissues.
Specifications:
- Material: Monoderm™ PGA/PCL (polyglycolic acid/polycaprolactone)
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle reverse cutting
- Suture Size: 3-0
- Absorption Profile: Gradual hydrolysis (typically 90–180 days)
- Length: Standard 18–24 inches (varies by configuration)
Suggested Use:
Ideal for dermal and subcutaneous closure in plastic surgery, general surgery, and orthopedic procedures. Suitable for continuous suturing techniques where knot security and reduced foreign body reaction are priorities. Ensure proper needle handling and tissue alignment for optimal wound approximation.
