Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Knotless Tissue-Closure Device (RA-1029Q) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure, knotless tissue approximation. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), this monofilament suture features bidirectional barbs that provide even tension distribution, eliminating the need for traditional knot-tying. The attached 1/2 circle taper point needle (size 0) ensures precise placement in soft tissue.
Features:
- Knotless design reduces operative time and minimizes foreign body reactions.
- Bidirectional barbs maintain tissue approximation without slippage.
- Absorbable PDO material provides wound support for approximately 180 days before complete absorption.
- Taper point needle allows smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
Specifications:
- Material: Polydioxanone (PDO)
- Needle Type: 1/2 circle, taper point
- Needle Size: 0
- Suture Type: Barbed monofilament
- Absorption Profile: Retains strength for ~6 months, fully absorbed by hydrolysis.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for plastic surgery, general closure, and orthopedic procedures where even tension distribution and reduced knot-related complications are desired. Suitable for layered closure in subcutaneous and fascial tissues. Ensure proper barb orientation during placement for optimal tissue approximation.
