Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Quill Variable Loop Device Monoderm (VLM-2004) is an absorbable barbed suture with a needle, designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), this monofilament suture offers reliable tensile strength and gradual absorption, making it suitable for soft tissue approximation in various surgical procedures.
Features:
- Barbed Monofilament Design: Eliminates the need for knots, reducing operative time and improving wound security.
- Absorbable Material: Gradually breaks down in the body, minimizing long-term foreign material presence.
- 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle: Ensures precise penetration and smooth tissue passage.
- Size 3-0: Optimal for general soft tissue closure in multiple surgical applications.
- Variable Loop Technology: Allows adjustable tension for customized wound approximation.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) / Polycaprolactone (PCL)
- Needle Type: 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting
- Suture Size: 3-0
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by configuration)
- Absorption Profile: Gradual absorption via hydrolysis
Suggested Use:
Ideal for dermal closure, plastic surgery, and general soft tissue approximation where knotless, secure wound support is desired. The barbed design ensures even tension distribution, reducing the risk of dehiscence. Always follow aseptic techniques and surgeon preference for optimal results.
This product is intended for use by trained medical professionals in sterile surgical environments.
