Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Variable Loop Device - VLP-2001 is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), this monofilament suture provides strong tissue support and gradual absorption, minimizing long-term foreign body reactions. The PS-2 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting needle ensures precise penetration, reducing tissue trauma.
Features:
- Barbed Design: Eliminates the need for knots, providing even tension distribution.
- Absorbable Material (PDO): Gradually absorbs over time, reducing follow-up removal procedures.
- Precision Needle: Reverse cutting edge for smooth penetration and reduced tissue damage.
- Variable Loop Technology: Allows adjustable tension for optimal wound approximation.
- Monofilament Construction: Minimizes bacterial adhesion and enhances strength.
Specifications:
- Suture Size: 2-0
- Needle Type: PS-2 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting
- Material: Polydioxanone (PDO)
- Length: Standard suture length (varies based on packaging)
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 180 days.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for plastic surgery, dermatologic closures, and general soft tissue approximation, particularly where knot-free, self-anchoring sutures are preferred. Suitable for procedures requiring prolonged wound support with minimal scarring. Store in a dry, cool environment and use before the expiration date for optimal performance.
