The Quill™ SRS is a revolutionary concept in wound closure that harnesses advanced technology for greater accuracy, faster procedures and better results.
About the Quill™ Self-Retaining System (SRS)
Because the Quill™ SRS is knot-less, many of the drawbacks associated with knot-tying are reduced or eliminated. Some potential benefits may include:
- Decreases procedural time by eliminating knots, providing interrupted security at running speed
- Enables surgeons to have greater control for tissue approximation, with continuous controlled tension at each bite
- Eliminates need for "third hand"
- Improves cosmesis by offering controlled tension to reduce scarring potential
- Reduces ischemic demands on the tissue, minimizing the risk of dehiscence (wound re-opening)
- Provides procedural enabling applications including tension support to facilitate wound closure
 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
