The Quill™ PDO Barbed Suture is an advanced surgical suture designed to provide superior wound closure with greater efficiency and precision. This suture features a size 2-0, with an 18-inch length, and is equipped with an SH (small half-circle) needle, making it suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures. The Quill™ suture is made of polydioxanone (PDO), a synthetic absorbable material that is highly effective for soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Key Features:
- Barbed Design: The unique barbed construction of the Quill™ suture eliminates the need for knots, providing even tension distribution across the wound. This reduces procedure time and ensures a more uniform closure, enhancing wound healing.
- PDO Material: Made from polydioxanone, a synthetic absorbable polymer, the suture offers high tensile strength and maintains its integrity throughout the critical wound-healing period. It gradually hydrolyzes, ensuring reliable absorption in approximately 180–210 days.
- Size 2-0: The suture size is ideal for medium to large tissue closures, offering the necessary strength for securing wounds effectively.
- 18-Inch Length: Convenient length allows for ease of use in various surgical applications, reducing waste and enhancing handling during procedures.
- SH Needle (1/2 Circle): The small half-circle needle is designed for optimal penetration with minimal tissue trauma, allowing for precise placement in both superficial and deeper tissues.
Intended Use:
The Quill™ PDO Barbed Suture is designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation in a variety of surgical procedures, including but not limited to, general surgery, plastic surgery, urology, gynecology, and wound closure. The suture is especially beneficial in areas where tension-free closure is critical, reducing the risk of dehiscence and enhancing aesthetic outcomes.
Benefits:
- Reduced Operating Time: The barbed design eliminates the need for knot tying, which can significantly reduce the overall duration of the procedure.
- Enhanced Healing: Even distribution of tension across the wound reduces localized pressure, minimizing tissue trauma and promoting faster, more reliable healing.
- Secure Closure: The barbed suture maintains its grip on the tissue, preventing slippage and ensuring a secure closure, even in high-tension areas.
- Minimized Scar Formation: Provides uniform tension distribution and better wound edge alignment, reducing scar tissue formation and enhancing cosmetic outcomes.
