Description
Quill PDO Barbed Sutures Quill closes tissue without a single knot, because barbs cut into the strand anchor each pass as it is placed. This page carries the PDO range in USP sizes 4-0 to 2, in the needle and length combinations Corza Medical builds for knotless closure. Every configuration below is a genuine Quill reference in a box of 12, so the size and needle you select is the exact barbed strand that ships.
- Knotless by Design – Barbs arranged along the strand anchor tissue as the closure runs, so no knot is tied at either end.
- True USP Sizing – Quill sizes are measured on the strand before barbing, so a labeled size carries the thread diameter the label states.
- Needles Matched to the Strand – Configurations on this page run on reverse cutting, taper cutting, taper point needles in the lengths shown on each option.
- Box of 12 – Supplied 12 per box, and the price shown covers the full box as listed.
Quill PDO Barbed Barbed Suture Range in USP sizes 4-0 to 2
The PDO strand is a monofilament polydioxanone barbed suture, and the catalog places its working life at 80 to 90 percent of its strength at 14 days, 60 to 82 percent at 28 days and 47 to 79 percent at 42 days, with mass absorption is essentially complete between 180 and 220 days. Because the barbs grip tissue along the whole run, tension spreads along the closure instead of concentrating at a knot, which is the failure point knotless design removes. Configurations split by design: 50 of the configurations are bidirectional, with barbs opposing from the midpoint and a needle at each end and 18 are unidirectional, with helical barbs running toward a welded loop end. The range serves plastic surgery, orthopaedic, OB/Gyn and gastrointestinal work, and each option label carries the size, needle, length and configuration so the strand can be matched to the layer being closed. Quill is the original barbed suture line, closing wounds without knots since 2004, and every box on this page is genuine Corza Medical stock supplied through authorized distribution.
Features and Benefits
Material Performance
- Documented Strength Profile – The manufacturer publishes the in vivo retention figures for PDO in its catalog material guide, so the working life is a specification, not an estimate.
- Monofilament Construction – Built monofilament in polydioxanone, the construction the catalog assigns to this material.
- Cross-Referenced Equivalent – The catalog cross-references this material to PDS II (Ethicon), so switching a preference card is a documented match.
Needles and Configurations
- Reverse Cutting Needles – Reverse cutting needles carry a triangular point with the cutting edge on the outer curvature, the geometry the catalog assigns to skin closure and to ligamentous or fibrous tissue.
- Taper Cutting Needles – Taper cutting needles run four cutting edges into a taper shaft for penetration through tough tissue.
- Full Range on One Page – 68 configurations in USP sizes 4-0 to 2 sit behind one dropdown, and every option is a real reference that ships as labeled.

Why Choose This PDO Barbed Suture
Plenty of barbed suture ranges publish a size chart and stop there. This one publishes its retention and absorption figures in the manufacturer catalog, cross-references the material to the brand most preference cards already carry, and keeps 68 configurations behind a single page. That makes the switch a documentation exercise instead of a trial-and-error order.
- Closure Without Knots – Removing knot tying removes the weakest point of a conventional closure and the time spent securing it, which is the outcome operating teams buy barbed suture for.
- Tension Along the Whole Run – Barbs distribute holding force along the strand, so tissue is approximated evenly instead of being pulled toward two knots.
- True USP Sizing – The size on the Quill label is the thread diameter before barbing, a sizing honesty the manufacturer publishes as its differentiator against spiral barbed rivals.
- Exact Reordering – Every configuration carries its own Quill reference number, so the next order is a code match rather than a description match.
