Product Overview
The Quill Variable Loop Device Monoderm (VLM-1003) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from Monoderm™ Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) / Polycaprolactone (PCL), this monofilament suture offers reliable tensile strength and gradual absorption, minimizing tissue reaction. The 1/2 circle taper point needle (size 0) ensures precise penetration, while the barbed design provides even tissue approximation and eliminates the necessity for traditional knot tying.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Polyglycolic Acid / PCL blend for gradual absorption.
- Barbed Monofilament: Eliminates knots, ensuring even tension distribution.
- 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle (Size 0): Sharp, precise penetration for smooth tissue passage.
- Variable Loop Technology: Adjustable loop for controlled wound closure.
- Knotless Suture: Reduces operative time and enhances wound security.
Specifications:
- Suture Type: Monoderm™ PGA/PCL (Absorbable)
- Needle Type: 1/2 Circle Taper Point
- Needle Size: 0
- Suture Length: Standard (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Profile: Gradual, with retained strength during healing.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for soft tissue approximation in plastic, general, and orthopedic surgeries, particularly where knotless, secure closure is desired. Suitable for procedures requiring minimal tissue reaction and consistent wound support. Ensure proper technique by following manufacturer guidelines for optimal barb engagement and loop adjustment.
