Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Knotless Tissue-Closure Device (RA-2067Q) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure, knotless tissue approximation. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), this monofilament suture provides strong wound support while gradually absorbing over time. The 1/2 circle taper point needle (size 0) ensures precise placement with minimal tissue trauma.
Features:
- Knotless design eliminates the need for traditional knot tying, reducing operative time and suture-related complications.
- Barbed monofilament enhances tissue grip, distributing tension evenly along the wound.
- Absorbable PDO material maintains strength during critical healing phases before being metabolized by hydrolysis.
- Taper point needle minimizes tissue damage for smooth penetration.
Specifications:
- Material: Polydioxanone (PDO)
- Needle Type: 1/2 circle, taper point
- Needle Size: 0
- Suture Type: Monofilament, barbed
- Absorption Profile: Gradual hydrolysis (typically 180-210 days)
Suggested Use:
Ideal for soft tissue approximation in plastic, reconstructive, and general surgery, particularly in procedures requiring even tension distribution and reduced reliance on knots. Suitable for subcuticular closures and layered wound closures where prolonged support is needed.
