Description

The Quill Barbed Suture, PDO, 2, Violet, 70cm, CTX, Taper Point, 1/2 Circle, 48mm, offers a revolutionary approach to wound closure by eliminating the need for traditional knot tying, thereby saving valuable time during surgical procedures. Its unique barbed design evenly distributes tension along the wound edges, enhancing both the security and speed of closure. The helical barb pattern maximizes tissue engagement and grip, minimizing the risk of suture migration and ensuring a secure wound closure.

This design facilitates cleaner and more efficient wound closures, reducing trauma to tissues and promoting faster healing. The PDO (polydioxanone) material used in the suture is specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. However, it is not suitable for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery, or ophthalmic surgery due to its absorption profile and mechanical properties.

PDO suture material is known for its gradual absorption profile, retaining significant tensile strength during critical healing phases. It retains up to 90% of its initial strength by day 14, ensuring robust wound support during early healing stages. By day 180 to 220, the suture is essentially absorbed, minimizing the risk of prolonged inflammation or tissue reaction.
