Surgical Specialties - Quill Variable Loop Device Monoderm - Vlm-1010 - Absorbable Suture With Needle Device, Polyglycolic Acid / Pcl 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Size 3 - 0 Barbed Monofilament

Below are the key product attributes and specifications that provide detailed information about this item:

The Quill Variable Loop Device Monoderm (VLM-1010) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure in surgical procedures. Constructed from polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), it provides reliable tensile strength and gradual absorption over time, minimizing tissue reaction. The 3/8 circle reverse-cutting needle enables precise penetration, while the barbed monofilament design eliminates the need for knots, reducing operative time and improving wound security.

Features:
- Absorbable Material: Made from PGA/PCL blend, offering controlled absorption.
- Barbed Monofilament: Self-anchoring sutures eliminate knot tying for faster closures.
- Reverse-Cutting Needle: Ensures smooth tissue penetration with reduced trauma.
- Size 3-0: Suitable for general soft tissue approximation.
- Variable Loop Technology: Adjustable loop allows customized tension distribution.

Specifications:
- Material: Polyglycolic Acid / Polycaprolactone (PGA/PCL)
- Needle Type: 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting
- Suture Size: 3-0
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Rate: Fully absorbed via hydrolysis (timeline dependent on tissue type).

Use Suggestion:
Ideal for subcutaneous and intradermal closures in plastic, orthopedic, and general surgery. Suitable for areas requiring minimal tension while maintaining secure wound approximation. Always follow proper surgical techniques and compatibility guidelines for optimal results.
