Excerpt

In January 2007, a new concept in wound closure was introduced in the USA, the bidirectional barbed suture (Quill® Self-Retaining System, SRS: Angiotech Pharmaceuticals). Even though the materials are similar to the conventional suture (nylon, polypropylene and PDS), it has a revolutionary design. The Quill® SRS consists of a monofilament with tiny barbs cut into the length of the surface, self-anchoring to the tissue. This self-anchoring capacity eliminates the need for surgical knots and hysterorrhaphy becomes easier, therefore reducing surgical time and blood loss. Although Quill® SRS is more expensive, less suture is required for hysterorrhaphy compared with conventional suture, resulting in a better cost-effective alternative. …
