Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Knotless Tissue-Closure Device (Rx-1029q) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), this monofilament suture offers reliable tensile strength and gradual absorption, making it ideal for soft tissue approximation. The 1/2 circle taper point needle (size 0) ensures precise placement with minimal tissue trauma.
Features:
- Knotless Design: Eliminates the need for tying knots, reducing operative time and improving wound security.
- Barbed Monofilament: Bidirectional barbs provide even tissue hold, distributing tension across the wound.
- Absorbable Material: PDO suture is gradually absorbed by hydrolysis, maintaining strength during healing.
- Taper Point Needle: Sharp, precision-engineered for smooth tissue penetration.
Specifications:
- Material: Polydioxanone (PDO)
- Needle Type: 1/2 circle, taper point
- Needle Size: 0
- Suture Type: Monofilament, barbed
- Absorption Profile: Retains strength for ~6 weeks, fully absorbed in ~6 months.
Suggested Use:
Suitable for general soft tissue closure in plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery. Ideal for procedures requiring even tension distribution, such as fascial closure, dermal suturing, and subcutaneous tissue approximation. Always follow aseptic techniques and surgeon preference for optimal results.
