Quill SRS

Quills SRS

Speed. Reliability. Strength.

Increased efficiency by saving time1

  • Eliminates the need to tie knots
  • Enables use of running vs interrupted sutures
    Quills SRS how it works

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, thereby reducing surgery risks associated with prolonged anesthesia 2-4

How Quill™ SRS works

Quills SRS how it works2

  • 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

Quills SRS how it works3

  • 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

1. Demonstrated time saving in a multicenter survey of 119 surgeons performing 377 various procedures (data on file)
>Time savings of 5-120 minutes in abdominoplasties
>Time savings of 3-60 in various breast procedures
>Surgeons reported time savings in many different surgical procedures compared with standard suture use
