Surgical Specialties Quill Barbed Suture, Pdo, Violet, 45CM, Taper

The Surgical Specialties Quill Barbed Suture, Pdo, Violet, 45CM, Taper is specified for demanding clinical and facility environments. Barbed suture eliminates the need to tie knots to secure the closure, saving time during wound-closure procedures. Specifications include latex-free materials.

Key Features

• Barbs evenly distribute tension to improve both security and speed, and the helical barb pattern maximizes tissue grab and hold.
• German-engineered needles offer superior sharpness, penetration and strength to make wound closures cleaner and more efficient.
• PDO (polydioxanone) material is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.
• Absorption pattern: PDO retains up to 90% of its tensile strength by day 14, up to 82% by day 28 and up to 79% by day 42, and is essentially absorbed between 180 and 220 days.
