Surgical Specialties - Quill Variable Loop Device Monoderm - Vlm-1017 - Absorbable Suture With Needle Device, Polyglycolic Acid / Pcl 1/2 Circle Taper Point Size 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-1017 is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. It features a 1/2 circle taper point needle for precise tissue penetration and is constructed from Monoderm™ polyglycolic acid (PGA) / polycaprolactone (PCL), ensuring gradual absorption by hydrolysis. The barbed monofilament design eliminates knot tying, reducing surgical time and providing consistent tension distribution.

Features:
- Absorbable Material: Gradually breaks down in the body, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Barbed Monofilament: Self-anchoring design for knotless wound closure.
- 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle: Sharp, smooth penetration for reduced tissue trauma.
- Variable Loop Technology: Adjustable loop for controlled tension and secure anchoring.

Specifications:
- Suture Size: 0
- Needle Type: 1/2 circle taper point
- Material: Monoderm™ PGA/PCL
- Absorption Profile: Long-term absorption via hydrolysis
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)

Use Suggestion:
Ideal for soft tissue approximation in plastic, general, and orthopedic surgeries. The Quill Variable Loop Device is particularly effective in procedures requiring even tension distribution, such as fascial closure, tendon repair, or layered tissue approximation. Ensure proper technique by following manufacturer guidelines for loop adjustment and suture placement.
