Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Knotless Tissue-Closure Device Monoderm (YA-2032Q) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure, knotless tissue approximation. This device features a Monoderm™ polyglycolic acid (PGA) / polycaprolactone (PCL) monofilament suture with bidirectional barbs, eliminating the need for traditional knot tying. The included 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle (size 2-0) ensures precise tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
Features:
- Knotless Closure: Bidirectional barbs provide even tension distribution, reducing reliance on surgical knots.
- Absorbable Material: Monoderm™ PGA/PCL suture is gradually absorbed by hydrolysis, minimizing long-term foreign body reaction.
- Precision Needle: Reverse cutting needle design enhances control and reduces tissue damage.
- Strong Hold: Barbs anchor the suture in place, distributing tension evenly along the wound.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Monoderm™ PGA/PCL (polyglycolic acid/polycaprolactone)
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle, precision reverse cutting
- Needle Size: 2-0
- Suture Length: Standard (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Profile: Gradual hydrolysis over weeks to months
Suggested Use:
Ideal for subcutaneous and intradermal closure in plastic, general, and orthopedic surgeries. Suitable for procedures requiring secure, knotless wound approximation with minimal tissue reaction. Ensure proper barb orientation during placement for optimal tissue hold.
