Product Overview
The Quill Knotless Tissue-Closure Device Monoderm (YA-2023Q) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure, knotless wound closure. It features a Monoderm™ polyglycolic acid (PGA) / polycaprolactone (PCL) monofilament with bidirectional barbs that anchor tissue without requiring traditional knots, reducing surgical time and improving wound support. The suture is pre-attached to a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle (size 3-0), ensuring smooth tissue penetration and precise placement.
Key Features:
- Knotless Design: Eliminates the need for knots, providing even tension distribution.
- Absorbable Material: Monoderm™ PGA/PCL blend resorbs over time, minimizing long-term foreign body reaction.
- Barbed Monofilament: Bidirectional barbs grip tissue, reducing slippage and enhancing closure stability.
- Precision Needle: 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle for controlled, accurate suturing.
Specifications:
- Suture Size: 3-0
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle reverse cutting
- Material: Polyglycolic acid (PGA) / polycaprolactone (PCL)
- Absorption Profile: Gradual hydrolysis for predictable resorption.
Suggested Use:
Ideal for subcutaneous and intradermal closures in plastic, general, and orthopedic surgeries. Suitable for procedures requiring secure, tension-free wound approximation with minimal tissue reaction. Ensure proper barb orientation during placement for optimal tissue anchorage.
