Product Overview
The Quill Variable Loop Device, Monoderm - VLM-2007 is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. Made from a blend of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), this monofilament suture provides strong tissue support while gradually absorbing over time. The 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle ensures precise placement, reducing tissue trauma.
Features:
- Barbed Design: Eliminates the need for knots, providing even tension distribution.
- Absorbable Material: Gradually breaks down in the body, minimizing long-term foreign material presence.
- Monofilament Construction: Reduces bacterial adherence and tissue drag.
- Variable Loop Technology: Allows adjustable tension for customized wound closure.
- Reverse Cutting Needle: Enhances penetration efficiency in dense tissue.
Specifications:
- Suture Size: 4-0
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle reverse cutting
- Material: Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) / Polycaprolactone (PCL)
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Profile: Mid-term absorption, suitable for soft tissue approximation.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for subcutaneous and intradermal closures in plastic, general, and orthopedic surgeries. The barbed design ensures secure wound approximation, particularly in areas requiring even tension, such as facial closures or layered tissue repair. Always follow proper surgical techniques for optimal results.
