Elevating wound closure to an advanced level with Quill™ barbed sutures
Eliminate knots
Increase closure security
Decrease closure times
Create a better wound healing environment with a water tight closure
Unique high-density helical barbed structure with 42 barbs/in facilitates healing by grasping the tissue throughout the wound spreading tension evenly.
Benefits of using Quill™ compared to a regular suture
A time-saving closure device that eliminates the need to tie knots to secure the closure.
- No knots to bury eliminating irritation caused by suture tags.
- Intuitive, easy to use design with no change to standard technique of running suture.
- As much as a 50% reduction in closure times has been reported with using Quill™suture.
- Create a better wound healing environment with a water tight closure.
How a Quill™ Veterinary barbed suture works
STEP 1
Anchor the Quill™ Device
With the Quill™ device needle, take initial bite of the tissue. Then, pass the needle through the variable loop. Cinch down to engage the barbs at the fixation point.
STEP 2
Run the Stitch
Continue approximating the tissue in a running fashion until the opposite end of the wound is reached. The barbs retract for delivery and then engage for fixation.
STEP 3
Lock the Stitch
Continue to the end, then employ a back stitch to lock the suture in place and cut the remaining Quill™ suture flush with the tissue. When approximating the subcuticular layer, exit laterally through the skin, retract on the suture and cut flush with the skin.
