Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Knotless Tissue-Closure Device (RA-1046Q) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible and absorbable material, this monofilament suture provides reliable tissue approximation while minimizing foreign body reactions. The 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle ensures smooth penetration and precise placement in various surgical applications.
Features:
- Knotless design eliminates the need for tying knots, reducing operative time and improving efficiency.
- Barbed monofilament enhances tissue grip, distributing tension evenly along the suture line.
- Absorbable PDO material gradually breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Precision reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle) facilitates controlled and accurate suturing in dense or tough tissues.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Polydioxanone (PDO) – absorbable
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle reverse cutting
- Suture Size: 2-0
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Profile: Retains tensile strength for approximately 4-6 weeks, with complete absorption by 180 days.
Use Suggestion:
This device is ideal for dermal and soft tissue closure in plastic, general, and orthopedic surgeries. Its knotless barbed design is particularly beneficial in procedures requiring even tension distribution, such as fascial closure, tendon repair, and subcutaneous suturing. Ensure proper needle handling and tissue penetration technique for optimal wound approximation. Store in a dry, sterile environment before use.
