Product Overview
The Quill Variable Loop Device Monoderm (VLM-3003) is an advanced absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from Monoderm Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) / Polycaprolactone (PCL), this monofilament suture provides strong tensile strength and gradual absorption, minimizing tissue reaction. The 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle ensures precise penetration, while the barbed design enhances tissue grip, distributing tension evenly along the suture line.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Gradually breaks down in the body, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Barbed Monofilament: Self-anchoring barbs reduce slippage and eliminate knot tying.
- 3-0 Needle Size: Ideal for general soft tissue approximation.
- 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle: Optimized for controlled, precise suturing.
- Variable Loop Technology: Allows adjustable tension for customized wound closure.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Monoderm PGA/PCL
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle reverse cutting
- Suture Size: 3-0
- Absorption Profile: Long-term absorption with minimal tissue reaction
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
Use Suggestion:
The Quill VLM-3003 is ideal for dermal and subcutaneous closure in plastic surgery, general surgery, and other procedures requiring secure, knotless suturing. Its barbed design ensures consistent wound approximation, reducing the risk of dehiscence. For best results, ensure proper needle handling and tissue alignment during placement.
