Speed. Reliability. Strength.

Enhances wound closure

  • Controls and distributes tension within the wound
  • Facilitates closure of difficult wounds, including purse-string applications
  • Minimizes difficulties associated with knots
  • Has the potential to decrease time under anesthesia, therby reducing surgery risks associated with prolonged anesthesia2-4

Increased efficiency by saving time1

  • Eliminates the need to tie knots
  • Enables use of running vs interrupted sutures

How Quill™ SRS works

  • Quill™ SRS works by approximating tissues through bidirectional fixation
  • Bidirectional barbs pull through tissue in one direction and catch in another
  • Forces are distributed across multiple barbs, distributing tension within the wound
  • The knotless self-anchoring system:
  • - Increases efficiency
    - Enhances wound closure

Where Quill™ SRS works

Primary closure

  • Deep subcuticular: Quill™ SRS can be used to close the deep subcuticular layer with a subcuticular suturing technique
  • Deeper layers: Quill™ SRS can also be used to close tissue in deeper layers with a helical suturing technique

Wound-tension support

  • Using a straight Keith needle, Quill™ SRS can be used to approximate tissue prior to primary closure, therby relieving tension within the wound
