The Value of Quill Barbed Suture
High Density, Helix Design
High density barbs are tightly arranged in a helical pattern providing 3D tissue anchoring and circumferential fixation points along the length of the wound.
More Barbs, More Secure
Quill Barbed Suture has been improved and now features twice as many barbs ensuring efficient wound closure and minimal tissue trauma during approximation.
Cost Effective
Hospitals recognize significant cost savings with Quill compared to competitive barbed suture. Quill offers a decrease in total material cost and operating room time.
You’ve Got Options
Quill is offered in two barb configurations. Bi-directional is double-armed and barbs reverse direction at the midpoint. Uni-directional is single-armed and is anchored using the adjustable loop at the apex of the wound.
How the barbs work.
Retractable barbs allow Quill Barbed Suture to pass smoothly through tissue in one direction — and then anchor into the tissue for secure fixation.

“I have found this surgical technique to not only be beneficial in expanding the speed of the closure, but more importantly improving the cosmesis of the surgical wound”
Dr. Jonathan Danoff, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon
“Compared with traditional sutures, we have found that closures with the Quill device are stronger, more watertight, and more resistant to failure when cut, with better distribution of tension along the length of the wound.”
Dr. Keith Berend, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon
“I have found tremendous benefit with Quill® to expedite the surgical closure, it has also decreased costs in the operating room as multiple different sutures are no longer required. Most importantly the patients have had tremendous feedback as they are very pleased with the look of their surgical wound, which heals quickly.”
Dr. Jonathan Danoff, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon
“I was amazed at how smooth the barbs on the Quil suture went through the tissue and still had a strong hold.”
Dr. Agostino Cervone MD
General Surgery, Robotics
“Quill’s barbs induce less trauma while maintaining an equivalent grip.”
Dr. Ervin Teper, MD
Urology
“It is much easier to manipulate tissues with Quill, such as in a capsulorrhaphy. Because of the even distribution of tension across the suture line, Quill® can better handle poor-quality tissues.”

Configurations
You’ve got options.
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.
Needles
The right tool for the job.
Our surgical needles provide maximum performance for consistency and control. Our sutures are offered with a variety of needle options for multiple specialties.
Materials
Short-term. Long-term. Permanent.
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.
Packaging
Packaged for quick and easy suture deployment.
- Single foil barrier eliminates packaging waste.
- Quill tray reduces suture memory and protects the barbs.
- Labelled tray provides clear identification in the sterile field.
