“I can now close wounds that would normally require a skin graft by using Quill PDO on the deep subcutaneous layer to reduce tension followed by Quill Monoderm subcuticularly.”

John Strasswimmer, M.D
Delray Beach, FL

“Quill is my ‘go-to’ suture for any linear closure whether it be on the face, trunk, or extremities. My closures are quicker and cheaper with Quill sutures. Cosmetic outcomes are excellent.”

Helen Raynham, M.D.

“Quill saves time, especially on large closures and in elderly patients with friable skin. It has been a game changer for repair of these defects.”

Keith LeBlanc, M.D.

Benefits

Fast & efficient

Eliminating suture knot tying can reduce closure time by up to 50% and save on operating room costs.

Secure & strong

Quill barbs immediately maintain tension once engaged in tissue. It has superior anchoring strength to hold wound edges together during approximation with minimal tissue trauma.

Improved outcomes

Quill helps reduce knot-related complications and is ideal for scar cosmesis.

Suture configurations

Quill Barbed Suture is offered in two barb configurations: bi-directional and uni-directional. Bi-directional is a double-armed suture. Barbs reverse direction at the mid-point of the suture. Uni-directional is a single armed suture. The suture is anchored using the adjustable loop at the apex of the wound.

Suture materials

Suture materials

Monoderm® is a short-term, absorbable suture available in clear or violet colors and essentially complete by 120 days. Due to its pliability and handling characteristics, it is suitable for subcuticular and soft tissue approximation. PDO (polydioxanone) is a long-term, absorbable suture available in the color violet and essentially complete by 180 days. It is suitable for many types of soft tissue approximation where extended support is needed but still promotes future growth. Polypropylene is a non-absorbable, permanent suture available in clear or blue colors. Its tensile strength is not weakened by tissue enzymes and used where prolonged apposition of wounds are needed.
